Streams in the Desert June 1 Daily Devotional

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.
Tonight, my soul, be still and sleep;
The storms are raging on God's deep-- God's deep, not thine; be still and sleep.
Tonight, my soul, be still and sleep;
God's hands shall still the tempter's sweep-- God's hands, not thine; be still and sleep.
Tonight, my soul, be still and sleep;
God's love is strong while night hours creep-- God's love, not thine; be still and sleep.
Tonight, my soul, be still and sleep;
God's heaven will comfort those who weep-- God's heaven, not thine; be still and sleep.
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 beer. God's designs regarding you, and His methods of bringing about these designs, are infinitely wise. --Madame Guyon.
