Sin is not something man does by accident. It is something man does or allows based upon an unwillingness to stop an act before it becomes sin.
The eyes of the LORD are in every place. His eyes are upon all men’s ways: they are not hid from His face, neither is their iniquity hid from His eyes.
Although no person is excluded from troubles, saints have historically understood that God extends mercy as He divvies out life’s trials.
Few people grasp the purposes or the benefits of suffering affliction. Instead, most individuals place a great premium upon trying to avoid troubles of any kind.
The world is driven by self-preservation and self-promotion. Individually, the natural man is guided by self-serving motives. This should not be true of saints.
