Shall we poor worms give laws to our supreme Lord and Governor, and oblige Him always to bless and favor us, and never to afflict us?
[Matthew Poole]
2 Corinthians 4:17 … For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
1 Thessalonians 3:3 … That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.
2 Timothy 4:5 … But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.❤
