- “Believer, though all things are apparently against you, rest assured that God has made a reservation on your behalf; in the rolls of your grief there is a saving clause. Somehow He will deliver you, and somewhere He will provide for you. Your rescue may come from a very unexpected source, but help will definitely come in your extremity, and you will magnify the name of the Lord. If men do not feed you, ravens will; and if the earth does not yield wheat, heaven will drop mana.” Charles Spurgeon
