Many are the afflictions of the righteous!!
Psalm 34:19
Many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers him from them all

” Many are the afflictions of the righteous” emphasizes the fact that the the Christian or the believer goes through several temptations and trials

But like the verse above says. The Lord delivers us from all of them. There are testimonies in the Bible to prove this

The people of Babylon thought they had completely destroyed Daniel and his God by putting him in the lions’den ( Daniel 6:16-23)

However, God delivered him and it was such a great testimony that even the King changed his opinion about God.

In the new testament, Stephen was stoned to death to prevent him from spreading the gospel. But God has raised several men and women after him to promote the gospel (Acts 7: 56-60)

I have had several afflictions that God has delivered me from. Health issues, accidents, conspiracies etc.

Scripture says in Psalm 46:10

Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the heathen. I will be exalted in the earth.

Our God is capable of handling anything that comes our way

James 1:12
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to them that love Him

This verse from the new testament says that Christians go through trials and temptations in order to improve our character.

In addition to this, there are rewards for those who remain firmly grounded in the Lord no matter the trials or temptations
God be with you

How can I apply the word to my life?

1. Trust in God and do what is right

Let this song be your confession and prayer

How great is our God
How great is His name

Forever the same

He rolled back the waters
Of the mighty red sea
And He says I will lead you
Put your trust in me
