Consider how great things He hath done for you. I Sam. 12:24
Thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years in the
wilderness to humble the, and to prove the, to know what was in thine heart whether thou
wouldest keep his commandments, or no. Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that as a
man chastenth his son, so the Lord thy God chasteneth thee. Deut. 8:2, 5
I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted
me. It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes. Before
I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word. Psa. 119:75, 71, 67
The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death. Psa. 118:18
He hath not dealt with us after our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For
as the heaven is high above the earth so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. He
knoweth our frame. He remembereth that we are dust. Psa. 103:1-11,14
