"Remember that it is not hasty reading, but serious meditation on holy and heavenly truths, that makes them prove sweet and profitable to the soul. It is not the mere touching of the flower by the bee that gathers honey, but her abiding for a time on the flower that draws out the sweet. It is not he that reads most, but he that meditates most, that will prove to be the choicest, sweetest, wisest and strongest Christian." (Thomas Brooks)
One of the troubling things about sanctified affliction is how unsanctified it can appear while you are going through it, but this should be expected since the Lord is often drawing the dross to the surface in order to remove it.

My desire is not merely to know theology, but to live it. But you can't live it if you don't know it!
