Psalms 119:71

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Psalms 119:71. It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.

The psalmist, was so impressed with the benefits which he had derived from his afflictions, that he returned to the subject: "It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes." There is much teaching power about God’s rod. He always keeps one in his school, and it is greatly needed for such dull scholars as we are. Many a child of God can repeat the psalmist’s testimony: "It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes." "Thou hast whipped a little knowledge into me, and not much has come in any other way."
