Adversity (5)
God's hiding his face is trouble enough to a good man even in his prosperity but if when we are in trouble, God hides his face, the case is sad indeed.
God's Presence, Adversity0Adversity is a condition of life which consists in the want of outward good things and presence of outward evil things, as sickness, disgrace, poverty, imprisonment, and the like.
Works 2:82Adversity0Works 2:82
A humble soul knows that to bless God in prosperity is the way to increase it, and to bless God in adversity is the way to remove it.
Unsearchable Riches of ChristHumility, Adversity0Unsearchable Riches of Christ
The atheist, by his prosperous condition, is wholly unfitted for affliction. He is so used to great fires and soft beds, that when he cometh to sharp air and stormy weather, he sickens and dieth. As Hannibal's soldiers were so much effeminated by the pleasures they enjoyed at Capua, that their bodies being used to fine raiment, could not bear the weight of heavy armour; and their heads being used to silken nightcaps, could not endure iron head-pieces.
