TRUST IN GOD.
I would have you without carefulness. — 1 Cor. vii. 32. What a vast, proportion of our lives is spent m anxious and useless forebodings concerning the future, — either our own or those of our dear ones. Present joys, present blessings,, slip by, and we miss half their sweet flavour, and all for want of faith in Him who provides for the tiniest insect in the sunbeam. Oh, when shall we learn the sweet trust in God that our little children teach us every day by their confiding faith in us P We, who are so mutable, so faulty, so unjust ; and He, who is so watchful, so pitiful, so loving, so forgiving ? Why cannot we, slipping our hand into His each day, walk trustingly over that day’s appointed path, thorny or flowery, crooked or straight, knowing that evening will bring us sleep, peace, and home ? — Phillips Brooks.
