“Thou art my hiding place. Thou shalt preserve me from trouble.”—Psalm 35
“THE earth.” Catch the meaning of those words, troubled heart: fathom their depth, anxious one: look to their source, distracted soul: God Himself cares for those who love and serve Him. Do you doubt it? If He cares for the fowls of the air and the lilies of the fields, will He not much more care for man whom He made in His image? What He does for the lesser is but a small proof of what He will do for the greater. He is great enough to be as careful for the individual as for the whole world.
“I know not where His islands lift
Their fronded palms in air:
I only know I cannot drift
Beyond His love and care.”
