Thanks as always for sharing your insights.

"For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons." While God says a great deal to encourage us, he also points out our sin.<br /><br />Thanks for the reminder. <br />Donald Fishgrabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11977970195032209188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-74809913831309427382020-06-28T10:07:19.372-07:002020-06-28T10:07:19.372-07:00Dear Frank,

I tried learning Hebrew once but did not get much past the alphabet. There are so many layers of Scripture that it is truly a living Book, with more to be learned on each reading.<br />Praise the Lord that He blesses us even in and through the trials.<br />Thank you as always for your comment and God bless you and Alex,<br />LaurieLaurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-86105381466701939392020-06-28T08:52:03.905-07:002020-06-28T08:52:03.905-07:00Hi Brenda,

We are closest to Him in the midst of the trials, as He shows His mercy, love and grace and we cling to Him.

But as Hebrews 12:10 says, it's ultimate purpose is for us to partake in his holiness, which itself is far more fulfilling than going our own way.<br />An excellent post.<br />Wishing both you and your husband every God's blessing<br />Frank E.

He loves all, and I have known in my own life that trials truly strengthen us, and He brings us through those trials and I will forever say 'I will love Thee O Lord my strength.<br />God bless you Laurie as I work out my salvation.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165344093549650260noreply@blogger.com
