March 1 – Daily Strength for Daily Needs
_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_.–MATT. vi. 25.
One there lives whose guardian eye Guides our earthly destiny; One there lives, who, Lord of all, Keeps His children lest they fall; Pass we, then, in love and praise, Trusting Him through all our days, Free from doubt and faithless sorrow,– God provideth for the morrow.
R. HEBER.
It has been well said that no man ever sank under the burden of the day. It is when to-morrow’s burden is added to the burden of to-day that the weight is more than a man can bear. Never load yourselves so, my friends. If you find yourselves so loaded, at least remember this: it is your own doing, not God’s. He begs you to leave the future to Him, and mind the present.
G. MACDONALD.
Cast thy burdens upon the Lord,–hand it over, heave it upon Him,–_and He shall sustain thee_; shall bear both, if thou trust Him with both, both thee and thy burden: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
ROBERT LEIGHTON.
