Thomas Boston (1676-1732) was a remarkable Scottish theologian and pastor. His Works run to 12 volumes and contain some lengthy theological treatises. But Boston also wrote brief, very accessible, and pastoral books, and chief among these is the quaintly titled, The Crook in the Lot: The Sovereignty and Wisdom of God, in the Afflictions of Men Displayed. This book is a pastoral masterpiece, in which Boston reflects on the words of Ecclesiastes 7:13, 'Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight which he hath made crooked?'By 'lot', Boston means our 'lot in life', the shape of our lives as they are styled by God's many providences. By 'crook', he means those unforeseen troubles that afflict, unsettle, or disturb us in any way. Boston sets out to minister pastoral wisdom and help to God's people experiencing what Paul calls 'the sufferings of this present time' (Rom. 8:18).The Crook in the Lot is pastoral medicine prepared in the laboratory of Boston's own personal and ministerial sufferings. It is little wonder that Jonathan Edwards considered Boston 'a truly great divine'. He was indeed!- Ian Hamilton

According to the dating of the Apostle Paul's second and third missionary journeys, he was probably arrested in Jerusalem about A.D. 58. Festus kept Paul imprisoned in Caesarea for two years (Acts 24:27) before he appealed to Caesar and was placed on a ship for Rome. The voyage was interrupted by a shipwreck, so Paul reached Rome as a prisoner and began writing from there about A.D. 61 (or even A.D. 64). Acts 28:30-31 tells us Paul was imprisoned in Rome "two whole years." The Prison Epistles were written during this time."

When we make it a point to put HIM in the Center of our lives, putting HIM first, and we follow HIS Commands, Living them in our lifestyle, Teaching them to our Children and Grandchildren, that we will see that our lives are made Successful by and through HIM. When we are Living for Jesus and Teaching others to do the same, helping to make Great HIS Harvest, we will find our Joy in this life to be in Abundance.
