Oops! I goofed!! Somehow I missed this Study, which I'm doing right now. And since I posted on Friday, that the next post would be, "Advice On Beating," I will post it right after I'm done with this one, since they're both short Studies.
Adversity, Purpose Of:
2 Samuel 12:9-12: Why have you despised the word of the Lord by doing evil in His sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword, have taken his wife to be your wife, and have killed him with the sword of the sons of Ammon. Now therefore, the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised Me and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.’ Thus says the Lord, ‘Behold, I will raise up evil against you from your own household; I will even take your wives before your eyes and give them to your companion, and he will lie with your wives in broad daylight. read more.
Deuteronomy 8:2: You shall remember all the way which the Lord your God has led you in the wilderness these forty years, that He might humble you, testing you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.
Hebrews 12:5-11: and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons,
“My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,
Nor faint when you are reproved by Him;
For those whom the Lord loves He disciplines,

And whom You teach out of Your law;
