Be Done with Fretful Care
"If God cares for you, why need you care too? Can you trust Him for your soul,
and not for your body? He has never refused to bear your burdens, He has never
fainted under their weight. Come, then, soul! have done with fretful care, and
leave all thy concerns in the hand of a gracious God." ~Charles Haddon
Spurgeon
I love his wisdom! Two books, as well, that are wonderful reads:
and
"Therefore I say unto
you, 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. Is not the life more
than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold
the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor
gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not
much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore,
if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow
is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of
little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, 'What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?' (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things." ~Matthew 6:25-32
