Hope is the anchor of the soul, securing it amidst life’s storms and drawing it to the calm harbor of God’s promises.

Spurgeon’s Daily Help
"Why do I go about mourning?" (Psalm 42:9)
Can you answer this, believer? Can you find any reason why you are often mourning instead of rejoicing? Why do you give in to gloomy thoughts? Who told you that the night would never end in day? Who said that the winter of your discontent would continue without
relief, going from one frost to another, from snow and ice to even deeper despair? Don’t you know that day follows night, that the tide comes in after it goes out, that spring and summer follow winter? So, have hope! Have hope always, for God will never fail you.

Although godliness has promises for this life, this is not our final rest, and we are in trouble if we try to make it so. All the trees in this forest are marked for the axe. Build your nests, my brothers and sisters, on the everlasting rocks where God’s
eagles have their nests, high above the reach of time and change, in the eternal purpose and everlasting love of God. Your portion is not in the present, and you should not seek it here.
