Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.

Even when life doesn’t make sense, we can trust our good and loving heavenly Father

1 Peter 5:6
Proverbs 16:5
Isaiah 64:8-9
Jeremiah 31:18-19
Lamentations 3:27
Job 5:6-7

Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord; though they join forces, none will go unpunished.

O Lord, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You our potter; and all we are the work of Your hand. Do not be furious, O Lord, nor remember iniquity forever; indeed, please look—we all are Your people! § You have chastised me, and I was chastised, like an untrained bull; restore me, and I will return, for You are the Lord my God. Surely, after my turning, I repented; and after I was instructed, I struck myself on the thigh; I was ashamed, yes, even humiliated, because I bore the reproach of my youth. § It is good for a man to bear the yoke in his youth.

Affliction does not come from the dust, nor does trouble spring from the ground; yet man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
