「你為何忘記我？我為何因仇敵的欺壓，徘徊哀痛呢？」－詩篇42:9
你找到經常令你哀傷、不喜樂的原因了嗎？
為何滿足於陰沉的盼望呢？誰說黑夜永遠不會變為白晝？誰告訴你難耐的冬日總會雪上加霜，轉成沮喪的風暴夜呢？
你難道不曉得，黑夜之後白晝放明，退潮之時漲潮緊隨，隆冬過後春夏即至嗎？
所以你當仰望神，永遠當仰望祂，因為神必不致令你失望。
-司布真
"Why go I mourning?" (Psalm 42:9).Canst thou answer this, believer? Canst thou find any reason why thou art so often mourning instead of rejoicing? Why yield to gloomy anticipations? Who told thee that the night would never end in day? Who told thee that the winter of thy discontent would proceed from frost to frost, from snow and ice, and hail, to deeper snow, and yet more heavy tempest of despair? Knowest thou not that day follows night, that flood comes after ebb, that spring and summer succeed winter? Hope thou then! Hope thou ever! for God fails thee not. --C. H. Spurgeon
