Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.--MATT. vi. 25.
One there lives whose guardian eye Guides our earthly destiny; One there lives, who, Lord of all, Keeps His children lest they fall; Pass we, then, in love and praise, Trusting Him through all our days, Free from doubt and faithless sorrow,-- God provideth for the morrow.
R. HEBER.
It has been well said that no man ever sank under the burden of the day. It is when to-morrow's burden is added to the burden of to-day that the weight is more than a man can bear. Never load yourselves so, my friends. If you find yourselves so loaded, at least remember this: it is your own doing, not God's. He begs you to leave the future to Him, and mind the present.
G. MACDONALD.
Cast thy burdens upon the Lord,--hand it over, heave it upon Him,--and He shall sustain thee; shall bear both, if thou trust Him with both, both thee and thy burden: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
ROBERT LEIGHTON.
