The goodness of God
Proverbs 20:30,
"Blows that hurt cleanse away evil
As do stripes the inner depth of the heart."
God often disciplines us through trials and tribulations. Many call those circumstances as the tests of the LORD, and I also see them as a way God strengthens our Faith in God and our boldness and perseverance towards the evil of this world.
This world is full of evil, chaos and many snares that are to crush, and most importantly TO DISCOURAGE TO GIVE FAITH - GIVE THE OUR CREDIT TO CHRIST- TO TRUST HIM AND LOVE HIM WITH ALL OF OUR HEARTS, SOUL AND MIND.
Life is hard and harsh at the same time. It is hard for many challenges we have to face with God, and it is also harsh due to the presences of sin and its deadly poison onto this world.
But thanks to God and HIS MERCIFULNESS, He has turned all of those bad things into good things for us TO BE STRENGTHENED BY HIM, RELYING ON HIM MORE AND TRUSTING HIM MORE WITH ALL OF OUR HEART AND ALL OF OUR SOUL AND ALL OF OUR MIND.
For if we are just blessed and forgiven by God at the beginning of the fall of Adam and Eve, we will commit the same sin of Satan for the idolatry of OURSELVES, OUR OWN BODY, SOUL AND MIND as written in the book of Ezekiel chapter 28 verse 11 to 19:
11 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 12 “Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD:
“You were the seal of perfection,
Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
13 You were in Eden, the garden of God;
Every precious stone was your covering:
The sardius, topaz, and diamond,
Beryl, onyx, and jasper,
Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold.
The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes
Was prepared for you on the day you were created.
14 “You were the anointed cherub who covers;
I established you;
You were on the holy mountain of God;
You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.
15 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created,
Till iniquity was found in you.
16 “By the abundance of your trading
You became filled with violence within,
And you sinned;
Therefore I cast you as a profane thing
Out of the mountain of God;
And I destroyed you, O covering cherub,
From the midst of the fiery stones.
17 “Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty;
You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor;
I cast you to the ground,
I laid you before kings,
That they might gaze at you.
18 “You defiled your sanctuaries
By the multitude of your iniquities,
By the iniquity of your trading;
Therefore I brought fire from your midst;
It devoured you,
And I turned you to ashes upon the earth
In the sight of all who saw you.
19 All who knew you among the peoples are astonished at you;
You have become a horror,
And shall be no more forever.”
