The Lord is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble; And He knows those who trust in Him.

And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons:“ My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;For whom the Lord loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives.”If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons.Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness.

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

But if anyone loves God, this one is known by Him.

who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers did not know, that He might humble you and that He might test you, to do you good in the end—

But he answered and said,‘ Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’

Blessed is the man whom You instruct, O Lord, And teach out of Your law,That You may give him rest from the days of adversity, Until the pit is dug for the wicked.For the Lord will not cast off His people, Nor will He forsake His inheritance.

It is good for me that I have been afflicted, That I may learn Your statutes.
