C. H. Spurgeon's Morning Reading (July 3rd)
"The illfavoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven wellfavoured and fat kine." — Genesis 41:4
Pharaoh's dream has too often been my waking experience. My days of sloth have ruinously destroyed all that I had achieved in times of zealous industry; my seasons of coldness have frozen all the genial glow of my periods of fervency and enthusiasm; and my fits of worldliness have thrown me back from my advances in the divine life. I had need to beware of lean prayers, lean praises, lean duties, and lean experiences, for these will eat up the fat of my comfort and peace. If I neglect prayer for never so short a time, I lose all the spirituality to which I had attained; if I draw no fresh supplies from heaven, the old corn in my granary is soon consumed by the famine which rages in my soul. When the caterpillars of indifference, the cankerworms of worldliness, and the palmerworms of self-indulgence, lay my heart completely desolate, and make my soul to languish, all my former fruitfulness and growth in grace avails me nothing whatever. How anxious should I be to have no lean-fleshed days, no ill-favoured hours! If every day I journeyed towards the goal of my desires I should soon reach it, but backsliding leaves me still far off from the prize of my high calling, and robs me of the advances which I had so laboriously made. The only way in which all my days can be as the "fat kine," is to feed them in the right meadow, to spend them with the Lord, in His service, in His company, in His fear, and in His way. Why should not every year be richer than the past, in love, and usefulness, and joy?-I am nearer the celestial hills, I have had more experience of my Lord, and should be more like Him. O Lord, keep far from me the curse of leanness of soul; let me not have to cry, "My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me!" but may I be well-fed and nourished in Thy house, that I may praise Thy name.
C. H. Spurgeon's Evening Reading (July 2nd)
"Unto Thee will I cry, O Lord my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if Thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit." — Psalm 28:1
A cry is the natural expression of sorrow, and a suitable utterance when all other modes of appeal fail us; but the cry must be alone directed to the Lord, for to cry to man is to waste our entreaties upon the air. When we consider the readiness of the Lord to hear, and His ability to aid, we shall see good reason for directing all our appeals at once to the God of our salvation. It will be in vain to call to the rocks in the day of judgment, but our Rock attends to our cries.
"Be not silent to me." Mere formalists may be content without answers to their prayers, but genuine suppliants cannot; they are not satisfied with the results of prayer itself in calming the mind and subduing the will-they must go further, and obtain actual replies from heaven, or they cannot rest; and those replies they long to receive at once, they dread even a little of God's silence. God's voice is often so terrible that it shakes the wilderness; but His silence is equally full of awe to an eager suppliant. When God seems to close His ear, we must not therefore close our mouths, but rather cry with more earnestness; for when our note grows shrill with eagerness and grief, He will not long deny us a hearing. What a dreadful case should we be in if the Lord should become for ever silent to our prayers? "Lest, if Thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit." Deprived of the God who answers prayer, we should be in a more pitiable plight than the dead in the grave, and should soon sink to the same level as the lost in hell. We must have answers to prayer: ours is an urgent case of dire necessity; surely the Lord will speak peace to our agitated minds, for He never can find it in His heart to permit His own elect to perish.

" What's the Trump rule ?"
'Trump Rule' on Interviews
The term "'Trump Rule' on Interviews" refers to a recent agreement between Paramount Global (parent company of CBS News) and Donald Trump's team.
Context:
This stems from a lawsuit filed by Donald Trump against CBS News over the editing of a "60 Minutes" interview with Kamala Harris during the 2024 presidential campaign.
Trump alleged that the interview was deceptively edited and sought damages for election interference.
The "'Trump Rule'" Agreement:
Paramount agreed to a $16 million settlement with Trump's team.
As part of the agreement, "60 Minutes" will be required to release full, unedited transcripts of future presidential candidates' interviews after they have aired. These transcripts are subject to redactions for legal or national security concerns. Paramount stated that the settlement was reached to avoid the "somewhat unpredictable cost" of a legal defense and the risk of significant financial and reputational damage.
ABC had a similar settlement in December.
Significance:
This agreement, dubbed the "'Trump Rule'" by those involved, marks a change in how "60 Minutes" handles and releases presidential candidate interview transcripts.
It raises questions about the balance between freedom of the press and accusations of deceptive editing in political coverage.
Some see it as an example of media outlets bowing to pressure from powerful figures, raising concerns about the potential chilling effect on investigative journalism
