經文：「當將你的事交託耶和華。」（詩37:5） 是的，無論是甚麼正在逼迫你，你只需要將它們完全地交在父神手裡；這樣，你就不再需要掛慮了。 每當你預備做一件事，就先去告訴神，把重擔交託給祂；然後你只需要安靜、快樂、勤勉地去盡你面前的本分，並專心仰賴神替你成就一切。 親愛的讀者，請把所有掛慮和你自己捆成一捆，通通輥到神的身上吧！ --雷登 R. Leighton 我們如果沒有信心，就不可能「把我們的事交託主」。無論祂的引導多麼令人驚奇，或是帶領你走上多麼陡峭的絕壁；只要你沒有放鬆與祂的聯繫，是絕對不會遭遇危險的。 所以，我們究竟願不願意把一切事都交託給神來判斷呢？這需要每一位基督徒自己來決定。為甚麼有許多基督徒會如此地不安與膽怯呢？很明顯的是因為他們沒有將自己的事交託給神；他們把自己的事帶到主那裡，卻又把它們全都帶了回來。--選 新譯｜荒漠甘泉讀書會

Scripture: "Roll on Jehovah thy way" (Ps. 37:5, margin). Whatever it is that presses thee, go tell the Father; put the whole matter over into His hand, and so shalt thou be freed from that dividing, perplexing care that the world is full of. When thou art either to do or suffer anything, when thou art about any purpose or business, go tell God of it, and acquaint Him with it; yes, burden Him with it, and thou hast done for matter of caring; no more care, but quiet, sweet, diligence in thy duty, and dependence on Him for the carriage of thy matters. Roll thy cares, and thyself with them, as one burden, all on thy God. --R. Leighton We shall find it impossible to commit our way unto the Lord, unless it be a way that He approves. It is only by faith that a man can commit his way unto the Lord; if there be the slightest doubt in the heart that "our way" is not a good one, faith will refuse to have anything to do with it. This committing of our way must be a continuous, not a single act. However extraordinary and unexpected may seem to be His guidance, however near the precipice He may take you, you are not to snatch the guiding reins out of His hands. Are we willing to have all our ways submitted to God, for Him to pronounce judgment on them? There is nothing a Christian needs to be more scrutinizing about than about his confirmed habits and views. He is too apt to take for granted the Divine approbation of them. Why are some Christians so anxious, so fearful? Evidently because they have not left their way with the Lord. They took it to Him, but brought it away with them again. --Selected ｜ Mrs. Charles Cowman
