Can you say, "It is good for me that I have been afflicted?" (Psm 119:71). I would say that this is an oxymoron except for the fact that I have heard hundreds of men and women in prison or jail speak words similar to these. "Jail is the best thing that ever happened to me." "God knew what he was doing when He sent me to prison." "Prison saved my life." Welcome affliction as an invitation to trust God.
