Psalms 34:19. Many are the afflictions of the righteous:
You should hear some of them talk, and you would soon know that; for I know some of the righteous that seldom talk of anything else. "Oh! the badness of trade!" They have been losing money - oh! ever since I knew them. They had not any when they started, but they have gone on losing money every year; and I believe they always will. And they always have pains of body. The weather is so bad. And they always have ungrateful friends. And the church they belong to is not up to the mark. Indeed, there is nothing around them that is right. "Many are the afflictions of the righteous."
Well now, dear brethren, as that is recorded in God’s Word, and most of us have a pretty good acquaintance with that subject, I do not think that it is necessary for all of us to insist upon it every day. Could not we go on to the next part of the verse? "Many are the afflictions of the righteous," but - but -
Psalms 34:19. But the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
Not out of some of them, but out of them all, however numerous they may be.
