"Wherefore, let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to Him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator."
1 Peter 4:19
19
Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator. (1 Peter 4:19)
.
In Ethiopia there are very few bridges. Often it is necessary to wade through swollen streams to reach a destination. In this there is constant danger of being swept off one's feet into deeper water among treacherous rocks. As the weight of the human body is only slightly heavier than water, it is difficult to maintain a foothold. There is no problem, however, for the Ethiopian. He slings a sack of stones over his shoulder for ballast. On reaching safety he empties the sack. So sometimes in order to keep us from falling the Lord places burdens on us. No burden is heavier than we can bear, and He knows exactly what is necessary for our good. C. J. Feaver
"The burden He gives may seem heavy,
But it ne'er outweighs His grace;
It may keep my feet from stumbling
Until I see His face."
