2. Psalm 66:11-12: “You (God) laid an<br />

oppressive burden upon our loins... yet You<br />

brought us out into a place of abundance”<br />

(nasb). Charles Spurgeon said, “We often<br />

forget <strong>that</strong> God lays our afflictions upon us;<br />

if we remembered this fact, we should more<br />

patiently submit to the pressure which now<br />

pains us.”<br />

3. J.I. Packer said the Puritans teach us much<br />

of the love of God: “...<strong>that</strong> it is a love <strong>that</strong><br />

redeems, converts, sanctifies, and ultimately<br />

glorifies sinners, and <strong>that</strong> Calvary was the<br />

one place in human history where it was<br />

fully and unambiguously revealed, and <strong>that</strong><br />

in relation to our own situation, we may<br />

know for certain <strong>that</strong> nothing can separate<br />

us from <strong>that</strong> love (Romans 8:38), although<br />

no situation in this world will ever be free<br />

from flies in the ointment and thorns in the<br />

bed.”<br />
