*Ps 1:2-3*

2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that* bringeth forth his fruit in his season*; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

(KJV)

 

*Gal 6:9*

9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

(KJV)

 

*Rom 8:28*

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

(KJV)  /Rom 8:28 And we know that all that happens to us is working for our good* if we love God and are fitting into his plans*.

(TLB)/

 

·      The fact is we are where and what we are today because of the good and the bad experiences, that we have had and gone through with God.

Those that love God will experience his comfort and his purposes for their lives.

·      You can also suffer without the comfort of God, if the only purpose is to Humble you to your knees!

 

*2 Cor 1:3-10*

3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 4 *Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.* 5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.

6 And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.

7 And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.

8  For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life: 9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead: 10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us; (KJV)

 

2 Cor 7:4-10

4 I have great confidence in you; I take great pride in you.

I am greatly encouraged*; in all our troubles my joy knows no bounds*.

5 For when we came into Macedonia, this body of ours had no rest, but we were harassed at every turn-- conflicts on the outside, fears within.

6 But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus, 7 and not only by his coming but also by the comfort you had given him.

He told us about your longing for me, your deep sorrow, your ardent concern for me, so that my joy was greater than ever.

8 Even if I caused you sorrow by my

 

letter, I do not regret it.

Though I did regret it-- I see that my letter hurt you, but only for a little while-- 9 yet *now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance.

For you became sorrowful as God intended* and so were not harmed in any way by us. 10 Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.

(NIV)

 

Prov 29:15

15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

(KJV)

 

·      Correction brings us back on course and the Love keeps us motivated!

Eph 6:1-4

 

 

*Heb 11:24-26 (Moses)*

24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; 26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

(KJV)

 

*1 Pet 1:3-7*

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: (KJV)
