Hi - I'm reading "The Essential Works Of Thomas Watson" by Thomas Watson, . GLH Publishing and wanted to share this quote with you.
"If God be our Father, no real evil shall befall us. 'There shall no evil befall thee.' Psa 91:10. It is not said, no trouble; but, no evil. God's children are privileged persons; they are privileged from being hurt of every thing. 'Nothing shall by any means hurt you.' Luke 10:19. The hurt and malignity of the affliction is taken away. Affliction to a wicked man has evil in it; it makes him worse. 'Men were scorched with great heat and blasphemed the name of God.' Rev 16:9. But no evil befalls a child of God; he is bettered by affliction. 'That we might be made partakers of his holiness.' Heb 12:10. What hurt does the furnace to the gold? It only makes it purer. What hurt does affliction to grace? Only refine and purify it. What a great privilege it is to be freed, though not from the stroke, yet from the sting of affliction! No evil shall touch a saint."
