Earned Grief

 

Today's verse is Lamentations 3:32

But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.

Whether we face judgment, or chastening from God, it is no pretty thing, indeed, there is no pleasant thing to the whole business. But, and if, we turn to him, he is faithful, and merciful, that if we recognize that all that happens to us, is less then we actually deserve, we can in him find forgiveness, and in finding forgiveness, He will work in us to make us back into the image of him that he intended us to be. So whether, we face trial, or Chastening and Judgment, let us determine that we are going to trust him, and place ourselves fully into his hand. If we do this, we shall come forth, in due time, as Gold, fit to be counted as children of God. Amen.

To God be the Glory

Scott
