The longest chapter in the Bible is the summary of the entire Old Testament written by Ezra after he had copied all of the chapters of the Old Testament into what we would call Biblical Hebrew. In fact, the famous Dead Sea Scrolls would be copies of the scrolls that Ezra’s hand wrote as the founder of the Biblical Scribes.
When God inspired Ezra to write the 119th Psalm, He used him to give us the most complete explanation of how God uses suffering as a classroom to teach us lessons in His Great Faithfulness that can never be learned anywhere else.
As we open Psalm 119:75, we see the middle of seven lessons God wants us to learn as we experience all the troubles, trials, afflictions, and pains that life may bring.
Now, please listen to Christ’s truth that gives perspective on every affliction we’ll ever face:
Psalm 119:75- I know, O LORD, that Your judgments are right (You don’t ever change), and that in faithfulness You have afflicted me.
How God wants to use
Affliction in Our Lives Today
Whether or not we ever face an Islamic Jihadist deadly stare, we will face cancer, heart disease, job loss, and social strife. So God wants us to use the same principles that will keep us then, to keep us NOW! In short, we need to get a grip on a Biblical Theology of Suffering. One place to find that theology of suffering is in the longest chapter of the Bible: Psalm 119.
