"The lot is cast into the lap, but the whole disposing
thereof is of the Lord."¡XProverbs 16:33
If the disposal of
the lot is the Lord's whose is the arrangement of our whole life? If the simple
casting of a lot is guided by him, how much more the events of our entire
life--especially when we are told by our blessed Saviour: "The very hairs
of your head are all numbered: not a sparrow falleth to the ground without your
Father." It would bring a holy calm over your mind, dear friend, if you
were always to remember this. It would so relieve your mind from anxiety, that
you would be the better able to walk in patience, quiet, and cheerfulness as a
Christian should. When a man is anxious he cannot pray with faith; when he is
troubled about the world, he cannot serve his Master, his thoughts are serving
himself. If you would "seek first the kingdom of God and his
righteousness," all things would then be added unto you. You are meddling
with Christ's business, and neglecting your own when you fret about your lot
and circumstances. You have been trying "providing" work and
forgetting that it is yours to obey. Be wise and attend to the obeying, and let
Christ manage the providing. Come and survey your Father's storehouse, and ask
whether he will let you starve while he has laid up so great an abundance in
his garner? Look at his heart of mercy; see if that can ever prove unkind! Look
at his inscrutable wisdom; see if that will ever be at fault. Above all, look
up to Jesus Christ your Intercessor, and ask yourself, while he pleads, can
your Father deal ungraciously with you? If he remembers even sparrows, will he
forget one of the least of his poor children? "Cast thy burden upon the
Lord, and he will sustain thee. He will never suffer the righteous to be
moved."
My soul, rest happy
in thy low estate,
Nor hope nor wish to
be esteem'd or great;
To take the impress
of the Will Divine,
Be that thy glory, and those riches thine.
