“Let the whole earth shout joyfully to God! Sing about the glory of his name; make his praise glorious. The whole earth will worship you and sing praise to you. They will sing praise to your name.” Selah
For you, God, tested us; you refined us as silver is refined. You lured us into a trap; you placed burdens on our backs. You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us out to abundance.”
Psalms 66:1-2, 4, 10-12 CSB
I love how David is reminding Gods people that they should worship God, not only for being amazing but also for the discipline they have received. The testing was painful and was surely challenging to endure, but it produced an abundance of blessing.
That is my experience as well. God brings us into hard times intentionally so that we would see the foolishness of our ways and turn to Him. The end result is that we get rid of the garbage that is holding us back from true joy and contentment. And that is a sweet place to live and worship God!!
