Chosen in the Furnace of Affliction

CHOSEN in the furnace of affliction, the people of God are a sorrowing people. Chastisement is their badge of sonship, and great tribulation their appointed discipline. The pilgrim's pathway has been sprinkled with tears, and from the cradle to the grave his life is one continual struggle. With the poet he can truly say, "No tranquil joys on earth I know;" with the psalmist, "My tears have been my meat day and night."
