It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes. (Psalm 119:71)
A dead level in a man’s life would be his ruin. If he had nothing but prosperity, he would be ruined. A man can stand adversity better than prosperity. I know a great many who have become very prosperous, but I know few such that haven’t lost all their piety, that haven’t lost sight of that city eternal in the heavens, whose builder and maker is God. Earthly things have drawn their heart’s affections away from eternal things.
