It is not outward prosperity which the Christian most desires and values;
it is soul prosperity which he longs for. Even in adversity, there is a
true prospering, for it is often for the soul's health--that we would be
poor, afflicted and tried. Our worst things--are often our best
things! As there is a curse wrapped up in the wicked man's mercies--so there
is a blessing concealed in the godly man's crosses,
losses and sorrows. The trials of the saint are a divine
husbandry, by which he grows and brings forth abundant fruit.
(Charles
Spurgeon, "Treasury of David")
