Don’t worry! That is the lesson. It is set for us in our text-book. We are not likely to live thus, naturally. We have to learn to do it, and the learning is not easy. St. Paul was an old man when he said he had learned, in whatsoever state he was, therein to be content; and his language seems to imply that the lesson had not been easily learned. Nor shall we find it less difficult. But however hard it may be, we should strive to learn it, for it is the ideal Christian life.
In the Sermon on the Mount our great Teacher devoted a large section of His instruction to the subject of care. No lesson could be written out more clearly or enforced by more impressive reasons. The motive of the lesson is that we are God’s children, and should trust our Father’s loving thought for us. He is able to provide for us and keep us in safety and peace in all our experiences. Surely it is not fitting that the children of the heavenly Father should worry!
