Psalm 119:72 The law of Your mouth is better to me than thousands of coins of gold and silver.
One of the best ways of accepting a good slap is studying the Word of God! That may sound counterproductive because we never go out looking to be punished in any way, but think a little.
God has been trying to teach mankind about all the pitfalls in life for a long time. Much of that time we have ignored what He has been saying.
What better way than to have it all written down so that He can show us that He has been trying over and over again.
God’s Word is the living word of God. It is not just a piece of history and it is not just something to look forward to. It is all of the past, present and future for us all!
