The dove found no rest for the sole of her foot.
Genesis 8:9
"Reader, can you find rest apart from the ark, Christ?
--If your soul can stretch herself at rest, and find the bed long
enough, and the coverlet broad enough to cover her in the chambers of sin, then you are a hypocrite, and far enough from any right thoughts of Christ or perception of His preciousness.
We cannot live on the sands of the wilderness, we want the manna which drops from on high; our skin bottles of creature confidence cannot yield us a drop of moisture, but we drink of the rock which follows us, and that rock is Christ."
Charles Spurgeon
