“Believer, the fountain of your joy is never dried up. If, like Jonah, your plants are withered, your God still lives. If, like Job, your goods have been plundered, the highest good is still yours. Are the rivers dry? The ocean is full. Are the stars hidden? The heavenly sun shines on in eternal brightness. You have a possession that is unfading, a promise that is unfailing, and a Protector who is unchanging. Though you live in a faithless world, you dwell in a faithful God...
"Do not go to friends, at best they are miserable comforters. “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength” (Jer. 17:5). Turn to the strong arm of God. “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is in the Lord. For He shall be like a tree planted by the waters, in which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes; but it's leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit” (Jer. 17:7-8).”
-Charles Spurgeon, Looking to the Lord
