Children Quote by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
““The children of Israel were very faint of heart, they were cowards. They no sooner saw the Egyptians than they began to cry out. And when they viewed the Red Sea in front of them, they complained against their deliverer. Their biggest enemy was themselves. A faint heart is the worst enemy a Christian can have. He never needs to be afraid of the storm while he keeps his faith steady and fixes his anchor deep in the rock. But when the hand of faith is trembling, or the eye of faith is weak, it will go hard with us.””
