Learning from Adversity

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

Why do bad things happen to good people? Here's one reason. God allows hardships and heartache to come into our lives to chastise us, and to train us to turn to him in good times and bad. Maturity and wisdom come chiefly from difficult experiences. As he says in v71, “It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees.”
