Though the Lord gave you adversity for food and suffering for drink, He will still be with you to teach you. You will see your teacher with your own eyes. Your own ears will hear Him. Right behind you a voice will say, "This is the way you should go," whether to the right or to the left. Then you will destroy all your silver idols and your precious gold images. You will throw them out like filthy rags, saying to them, "Good riddance!"
What a precious passage. To see and hear my teacher; to know that He is right behind me guiding my every step. As that day comes, the day where all my idols (addictions and other false gods) are as filthy rags, then I will truly revel in that peaceful harvest of righteous living.
Hebrews 12:11 No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it's painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way.
