"I Know, O LORD, That YOUR Laws Are Righteous."

Poverty and affliction

(Richard Sibbes)

"Before I was afflicted I went astray,
but now I obey YOUR word." 
Psalm 119:67

"It was good for me to be afflicted
so that I might learn YOUR decrees."
 Psalm 119:71

Poverty and affliction take 

away the fuel which feeds pride!

"I know, O LORD, that YOUR laws 
are righteous, and in faithfulness 
YOU have afflicted me." Psalm 119:75
