Prosperity may cause us to rise in the world but affliction is needful to raise us above the world!

Spurgeon’s Daily Help
Look at one of the greatest works of the divine Physician—He has the power to forgive sin! Before the ransom was paid, before the blood was literally sprinkled on the mercy seat, He had the power to forgive sin. How much more power does He have now that He has died? He has limitless power now that He
has completed the work of atonement and made an end of sin. Listen to Him plead before the eternal Father, pointing to His wounds, urging the merit of His sacred suffering! What power to forgive is here! "He is exalted on high to give repentance and forgiveness of sins." Even the most crimson sins are washed away by the crimson of His blood.

If I ever had to undergo surgery, I would trust that if the surgeon wounded me, he would see me through the operation and do his best to help me recover. Now, God is the great Surgeon of our souls, and sometimes He cuts us down to the bone, but He never
intends to kill. He never takes the knife of discipline without the purpose of healing every wound He makes and setting us back on our feet, "saved in the Lord with an everlasting salvation."
