[Manna - October 26]
Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you. 1 Peter 5:7
THIS is a very consoling and encouraging suggestion
from the Word.
However, the Lord's people are
to learn more and more distinctly, as their years of
membership in God's family and tutelage in the school
of Christ go on, that they are not to ask the Lord to
guide their efforts according to their wisdom; that they
are not to request that their wills shall be done either
on earth or in heaven, but rather, telling the Lord
their burdens, great and small, they are to realize
and appropriate to themselves His sympathy and love,
and to apply to their own hearts as a balm the consoling
assurances of His Word, that He is both able
and willing to make all of their experiences profitable
to them if they abide in Him with confidence and
trust. Z. '04-237 R3409:1
