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

“I know, O Lord, that Your judgments are righteous, and that in faithfulness You have afflicted me. It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn Thy statutes. For the law from Your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of gold and silver. Blessed is the man You discipline, O Lord, and teach from Your law.”
