Sometimes we think that anything that appears to bad, is bad! But Romans 8:28  & 29says;

“all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son.”

And in Heb 12:6 & 7 it says;  

“The Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives.”

When we learn His word (learn your statutes) Then we are being “conformed to the image of his Son.”
