Thomas Case (5)
By chastisement man is made more attentive unto God. In prosperity the world makes such a noise in a man's ears that God cannot be heard. "He speaks indeed once and twice" again and again very often, "yet man perceives it not." He is so busy in the crowd of worldly affairs that God is not heeded.
It is the great mistake and folly of men that they make more haste to get their afflictions removed than sanctified.
Behold I show you a mystery! Sin brought affliction into the world, and God makes affliction to carry sin out of the world.
Affliction is God's forge wherein He softens the iron heart.
