The Crook in the Lot
Thomas Boston's tender exposition of Ecclesiastes 7:13 argues that every trial, disappointment, and 'crook' in a person's circumstances is deliberately shaped by God's sovereign hand and wisdom. Written out of Boston's own experience of pain and loss, it teaches believers to see affliction as God's work and to bear it with humble, faith-filled submission until He sees fit to make it straight.
Based on The Crook in the Lot (c. 1737), by Thomas Boston

In Thomas Boston's own words
“Whatsoever crook there is in one's lot, it is of God's making.”
“It is He that has posted every one in their relations by His providence.”
