經文：「你們要使疲乏人得安息，這樣的安息，纔得舒暢。」（賽28:12） 親愛的讀者，你為甚麼要掛慮？你的掛慮又有甚麼用？你現在好似一艘大船上的乘客，並不會駕駛；就算是生命的船主耶穌基督把你放在舵邊，你也不會掌舵；連將船帆捲起來還是不會；又為甚麼要擔心地好似你是船長舵手那樣呢？ 安息罷，主耶穌是你的船長！當你看見波浪翻騰船身顚簸，就以為船長不在船上麼？不，祂始終都在，並且負責到底；你只需要相信，不怕，就能靜享平安！--司布眞 C. H. Spurgeon 我要懇請你，不要為沮喪留地步，因為這是一個非常危險且精巧的引誘；它會使你的心收縮、枯萎，以致不能接受恩典。它也會將事情擴大，又描上凶險的顏色，使你覺得擔子太重、太難。請記得，神在你身上的計劃，和實現這些計劃的方法，都是神的絕頂智慧。--蓋恩夫人 Madame Guyon 新譯｜荒漠甘泉讀書會

Scripture: "This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing" (Isa. 28:12). Why dost thou worry thyself? What use can thy fretting serve? Thou art on board a vessel which thou couldst not steer even if the great Captain put thee at the helm, of which thou couldst not so much as reef a sail, yet thou worriest as if thou wert captain and helmsman. Oh, be quiet; God is Master! Dost thou think that all this din and hurly-burly that is abroad betokens that God has left His throne? No, man, His coursers rush furiously on, and His chariot is the storm; but there is a bit between their jaws, and He holds the reins, and guides them as He wills! Jehovah is Master yet; believe it; peace be unto thee! be not afraid. --C. H. Spurgeon I entreat you, give no place to despondency. This is a dangerous temptation--a refined, not a gross temptation of the adversary. Melancholy contracts and withers the heart, and renders it unfit to receive the impressions of grace. It magnifies and gives a false coloring to objects, and thus renders your burdens too heavy to bear. God's designs regarding you, and His methods of bringing about these designs, are infinitely wise. --Madame Guyon ｜ Mrs. Charles Cowman
