Why go I mourning?
Psalm 42:9
"CANST thou
answer this, believer? 
Q: Canst thou find any reason why thou art so often
mourning instead of rejoicing?
Q: Why yield to gloomy anticipations?
Q: Who
told thee that the night would never end in day?
Q: Who told thee that the
winter of thy discontent would proceed from frost to frost?
Q: Knowest thou not that day follows night, that flood comes after
ebb, that spring and summer succeed winter?
A: Hope thou then!
No father chastens always: thy Lord hates the rod as
much as thou dost; He only cares to use it for that reason which should
make thee willing to receive it, namely, that it works thy lasting good.
Thou shalt yet climb Jacob's ladder with the angels, and behold Him who
sits at the top of it—thy covenant God."
Charles Spurgeon
