is beautiful. Submissiveness is a desirable grace and one that will strew
your pathway with peace. How blessed it is to be always ready to give up

travel if we are always wanting our way.
"Be careful for nothing." Phil. 4:6. "Casting all your care upon him; for
he careth for you." 1 Pet. 5: 7. "Take no thought for your life, what ye
shall eat or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put
on." Matt. 6:25. The Christian life is one of freedom from anxiety. Jesus
will bear all our burdens, and cares if we will but cast them on him.

barrel of flour was on the way. Take no anxiety for future things.
"Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still.
