Does the psalmist say: If the Christians become righteous and listen to my words they will not suffer tribulations? No that is not his promise; but actually the wicked may suffer less tribulations; while the righteous may suffer more of them. But the former passing through less tribulations or no tribulation at all will reach an everlasting tribulation from which they will have no deliverance; While the righteous will come to enjoy the everlasting peace after their long suffering. St. Augustin

“Does the psalmist say: ‘If the Christians become righteous, and listen to my words, they will not suffer tribulations?’ … No, that is not his promise; but actually, the wicked may suffer less tribulations; while the righteous may suffer more of them. But the former, passing through less tribulations, or no tribulation at all, will reach aneverlasting tribulation, from which they will have no deliverance; While the righteous will come to enjoy the everlasting peace after their long suffering.” ~ St. Augustine#afflictions #theLorddelivers #concentrateonbeingrighteous #righteousnessisfromGod #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

Contemplations
What I ask is more wonderful than the beauty of God? What thought is more pleasing and wonderful than Gods majesty? What desire is as urgent and overpowering as the desire implanted by God in a soul that is completely purified of sin and cries out in its love: I am wounded by love? The radiance of divine beauty is altogether beyond the power of words to describe. – St Basil the Great . . #love #godsbeauty #godislove #godlovesyou #dailyreadings #copticorthodox #orthodoxy
