The Christian's Joy in Suffering

I was listening to a sermon by Mark Dever today on James 1 and he quoted a line from Robert Browning's poem:

I walked a mile with Pleasure
She chattered all the way
But there was nothing I could learn
From all she had to say

I walked a mile with Sorrow
And never a word said she
But, oh, all the things I learned
When Sorrow walked with me.
