Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.

Having seen that the Law ought to convince men of sin, we now delve into its use to convince them of righteousness and judgment. And we see that this applies to us, leading to thanksgiving for this warning-

God limits and even defeats evil in order to bring about His perfect will. Therefore, take hope in the valley of humiliation.

What is the use of the Law-- What function does it serve for the believer and for the unbeliever-- We delve into that. Hint- sin, righteousness, judgment.

David's responses to suffering provide searching direction to you in the valley of humiliation.
