[QUOTE="kbehrent, post: 30814265, member: 685552"] Psalm 34:19-21 King James Version ([B]KJV[/B]) 19 [B]Many[/B] are the [B]afflictions[/B] [B]of[/B] [B]the[/B] [B]righteous[/B]: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all. God can and will deliver us out of our afflictions. That does not mean He causes the afflictions does it? The Israelites seemed to get themselves into messes in the O.T. through idol worship and not following the Lord, not because God caused the messes. God helped them through their messes but did not cause them. God's patience finally wore thin and His wrath poured out on the Israelites to bring them back to Him, but only after many years of sending prophets and telling the people from turn from their wicked ways. The wicked ways were not caused by God. David got into a mess with Bathsheba, but God did not cause the mess with Bathsheba to "teach" David something. The resulting mess was a result of the sin of David, consequences. David did "learn" something, which we can all do when we get ourselves into our own messes. God will bring us through them, and we will "learn something" and maybe even trust Him more. 2 Timothy 3:16 we read, [B]“All scripture[/B] is given by inspiration of Godand is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”.
