[QUOTE="Rescued One, post: 77662483, member: 445539"] Indeed, suffering brings many of us closer to God. JOB 5 “But if I were you, I would appeal to God; I would lay my cause before him. [URL='http://biblehub.com/job/5-9.htm'][B]9[/B][/URL]He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted. [URL='http://biblehub.com/job/5-10.htm'][B]10[/B][/URL]He provides rain for the earth; he sends water on the countryside. [URL='http://biblehub.com/job/5-11.htm'][B]11[/B][/URL]The lowly he sets on high, and those who mourn are lifted to safety. [URL='http://biblehub.com/job/5-12.htm'][B]12[/B][/URL]He thwarts the plans of the crafty, so that their hands achieve no success. [URL='http://biblehub.com/job/5-13.htm'][B]13[/B][/URL]He catches the wise in their craftiness, and the schemes of the wily are swept away. [URL='http://biblehub.com/job/5-14.htm'][B]14[/B][/URL]Darkness comes upon them in the daytime; at noon they grope as in the night. [URL='http://biblehub.com/job/5-15.htm'][B]15[/B][/URL]He saves the needy from the sword in their mouth; he saves them from the clutches of the powerful. [URL='http://biblehub.com/job/5-16.htm'][B]16[/B][/URL]So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts its mouth. [URL='http://biblehub.com/job/5-17.htm'][B]17[/B][/URL]“Blessed is the one whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty. [URL='https://biblehub.com/niv/job/5.htm#footnotes']a[/URL] [URL='http://biblehub.com/job/5-18.htm'][B]18[/B][/URL]For he wounds, but he also binds up; he injures, but his hands also heal. [URL='http://biblehub.com/job/5-19.htm'][B]19[/B][/URL]From six calamities he will rescue you; in seven no harm will touch you. [URL='http://biblehub.com/job/5-20.htm'][B]20[/B][/URL]In famine he will deliver you from death, and in battle from the stroke of the sword. [URL='http://biblehub.com/job/5-21.htm'][B]21[/B][/URL]You will be protected from the lash of the tongue, and need not fear when destruction comes. [URL='http://biblehub.com/job/5-22.htm'][B]22[/B][/URL]You will laugh at destruction and famine, and need not fear the wild animals. [URL='http://biblehub.com/job/5-23.htm'][B]23[/B][/URL]For you will have a covenant with the stones of the field, and the wild animals will be at peace with you. [URL='http://biblehub.com/job/5-24.htm'][B]24[/B][/URL]You will know that your tent is secure; you will take stock of your property and find nothing missing. [URL='http://biblehub.com/job/5-25.htm'][B]25[/B][/URL]You will know that your children will be many, and your descendants like the grass of the earth. [URL='http://biblehub.com/job/5-26.htm'][B]26[/B][/URL]You will come to the grave in full vigor, like sheaves gathered in season. [URL='http://biblehub.com/job/5-27.htm'][B]27[/B][/URL]“We have examined this, and it is true. So hear it and apply it to yourself. [/QUOTE]
