The world's joys',

Back to THOUGHTS FOR THE QUIET HOUR

---

"Whoever drinks of this water shall thirst again." John 4:13

The world's joys are fitful, uncertain, precarious—brooks 
which dry in their channels—their silver ripple ceases often 
just when they are most needed. 

Gospel streams provided for the refreshment of God's 
pilgrims, are, on the other hand, fed from the eternal 
glaciers—the hills of heaven. They are fullest when all 
others are emptiest. 

"He will refresh her as a river in the desert and as the cool
shadow of a large rock in a hot and weary land." Isaiah 32:2

"I will make rivers flow on barren heights, and springs
within the valleys. I will turn the desert into pools of
water, and the parched ground into springs. I will even
make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert." 
Isaiah 41:18-19
