“To-day’s wealth may be to-morrow’s poverty; to-day’s health,
to-morrow’s sickness; to-day’s happy companionship of love,
to-morrow’s aching solitude of heart; but to-day’s God will be
to-morrow’s God, to-day’s Christ will be to-morrow’s Christ.
Other fountains may dry up in heat or freeze in winter, but
this knows no change; ‘in summer and winter it shall be.’ Other
fountains may sink low in their basins after much drawing, but
this is ever full, and after a thousand generations have drawn
from its stream is broad and deep as ever. Other fountains may
be left behind on the march, and the wells and palm-trees of
each Elim on our road be succeeded by a dry and thirsty land
where no water is, but this spring follows us all through the
wilderness, and makes music and spreads freshness ever by our
path.”--ALEXANDER MCLAREN.
