There is never a crook which God makes in our lot, but it is in effect Heaven's offer of a blessed exchange to us; such as, 'Sell whatever you have, and you shall have treasure in heaven.' In managing of which exchange, God first puts out His hand, and takes away some earthly thing from us; and it is expected we put out our hand next, and take some heavenly thing from Him in the stead of it, and particularly His Christ.
Thomas Boston — The Crook in the Lot
