“Be careful for nothing” (Phil. iv. 6).
What is the way to lay your burden down? “Take My yoke upon you, and learn
of Me; for I am meek and and lowly of heart, and ye shall find rest unto
your souls.”
“For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” That is the way to take His
burden up. You will find that His burden is always light. Yours is a very
heavy one. Happy day if you have exchanged burdens and laid down your
loads at His blessed feet to take up His own instead. God wants to rest
His workers, and He is too kind to put His burden on hearts that are
already bowed down with their own weight of cares.
Are you fearing, fretting or repining?
You can never know God’s perfect peace.
On His bosom all your weight reclining.
All your anxious doubts and cares must cease.
Would you know the peace that God has given?
Would you find the very joy of heaven?
Be careful for nothing,
Be prayerful for everything,
Be thankful for anything,
And the peace of God that passeth understanding
Shall keep your mind and heart.
