The
streams of living water are not dried up by the parching heats of sultry
midsummer any more than they were frozen by the cold winds of blustering
winter.
The seasons
change but God never changes. The Lord abides forever and the streams of
His love are as deep, as broad and as full as ever.
The heats of business cares and scorching trials make me
need the cooling influences of the river of His grace; I may go at once and
drink to the full from the inexhaustible fountain, for in summer and in winter
it pours forth its flood.
The upper springs are never scanty, and blessed be the name of the Lord, the
nether springs cannot fail either.
Elijah found Cherith dry up, but Jehovah was still the same God of providence.
Job said his brethren were like deceitful brooks, but he found his God an
overflowing river of consolation.
The Nile is the great confidence of Egypt, but its floods are variable; our
Lord is evermore the same.
By turning the course of the Euphrates, Cyrus took the city of Babylon, but no
power, human or infernal, can divert the current of divine grace.
The tracks of ancient rivers have been found all dry and desolate, but the
streams which take their rise on the mountains of divine sovereignty and
infinite love shall ever be full to the brim.
Generations melt away, but the course of grace is unaltered.
“Men may come, and men may go, but our God go on forever.”
Rejoice, O my soul, for God in His infinite mercy spared me to testify of the
faithfulness of the Lord.
Happy New Month
Charles Spurgeon
