Psalm 119:75 NKJV - "I know, O Lord, that Your judgments are right, and that in faithfulness You have afflicted me."

Commentary:

This is the last of the verses in Psalm 119 dealing with the Affects of Affliction on a believer's life.  This verse makes clear that God Himself designed affliction because of His faithfulness!  He purposely brought affliction on a believer to show His love for them and His desire to see them turn away from sin and turn to His Word to learn how He wants them to live a righteous life.

God is always faithful.  You might say, "God is faithful - All the time," and, "All the time - God is faithful."  He is faithful to Himself, He cannot deny Himself, 2 Timothy 2:13.  He is faithful to His Word, He will not go against what He said, Hebrews 10:23.  And, He is faithful to His children.  They can always count on Him, Psalm 89:1.

The next time you face affliction in whatever form it may come, recognize the value of it in your life.  It turns you away from evil; it encourages you to learn God's statutes; and it reminds you that your God is faithful  - All the time!
