Psalms 94:12
Comfort to Suffering Saints; God the Defence of His People.This section gives encouragement to people who suffer for doing what is right. The psalmist tells them that God has promised comfort and help, even when times are hard. He explains that God uses troubles to teach and strengthen His people, and that in the end, God will defend them and punish those who do wrong. The writer shares both God’s promises and his own personal experience of God’s help.v. 12: The psalmist says, Blessed is the man whom you chasten, O Lord, and whom you teach out of your law . He reminds us that when God allows suffering, it is like a father correcting a child he loves. The trouble is not just from enemies, but really from God, who uses it to teach us. This makes suffering a blessing, because God is the best teacher.
