“Cast your burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain you.” Psalm 55:22
“Worry, if carried to excess, has the nature of sin in it. The precept to avoid worry is repeated frequently by our Savior. It is reiterated by the apostles. It is a principle which cannot be neglected without involving transgression. We labor to take on ourselves our weary burden, as if He were unable or unwilling to take it for us. He who cannot calmly leave his affairs in God’s hand is very likely to be tempted to use wrong means to help himself. Anxiety makes us doubt God’s lovingkindness, and our love for Him grows cold. We feel mistrust and grieve the Spirit of God. If we cast each burden as it comes on Him and we are “careful for nothing” because He undertakes to care for us, it will keep us close to Him.” - C.H. Spurgeon
“The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day.” Exodus 1
“Enough for that day.” That word completely takes away all care for tomorrow. Only today is yours; tomorrow is the Father’s. Manna, as your food and strength, is given only by the day; to faithfully fill the present is your only security for the future. His presence and grace enjoyed today will remove all doubt as to whether you can entrust tomorrow to Him, too. Each new morning, He meets you with the promise of sufficient manna for the day.” –Andrew Murray
