Instead of a river, God often gives us a brook, which may be running today and dried up tomorrow. Why? To teach us not to rest in our blessings but in the Blesser Himself!

Spurgeon’s Daily Help
Beloved reader, what is your desperate case? What heavy matter have you in hand this evening? Bring it hither. The God of the prophets lives, and lives to help his saints. He will not suffer you to lack any good thing. Believe you in the Lord of Hosts! Approach him pleading the name of Jesus; you too
shall see the finger of God working marvels for his people. According to your faith be it unto you. In our hours of bodily pain and mental anguish, we find ourselves as naturally driven to prayer as the wreck is driven upon the shore by the waves.
Faith, then, we choose, rather than doubt, as the mainspring of our life.

enthusiasm to point out the beauties and perfections of the life and death of our Lord, we may spoil it all. Earnest therefore is our prayer—"Lord, open you my lips; and my mouth shall show forth your praise."
