Dear Young Christian:

Today when I opened my mail, there was a card with the following quote in one of the envelopes:

“Are you at this moment in any pressure, trial, need, or difficulty? If so, look simply and solely to the living God. Turn away your eyes completely from the creature. “Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?” (Isaiah 2:22). Let your faith take hold now on the strength of God Himself. Put your whole case in His omnipotent (all-powerful) hand. Cast your burden, whatever it is, upon Him. Let there be no reserve. He is as willing as He is able, and as able as He is willing, to bear all. Trust Him fully. He loves to be trusted, loves to be used.”

                                                                        C. H. Macintosh.

This card was a real encouragement to me, and I pass it along for your meditation and encouragement as you start out on another busy week of whatever you are doing, and wherever the Lord leads you. I would simply add, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5).

Your Christian Friend,

Jim Hyland
