Morning — December 5 — Psalm 119:71

It was good for me to be afflicted, that I might learn Your statutes. — Psalm 119:71Suffering is not a detour from God's purpose but the very path He uses to form His children into the likeness of Christ. It peels away self-confidence and plants a deeper trust in His provision alone. Through hardship, God trains the soul to treasure His words more than ease, preparing it for an inheritance that cannot be shaken.
