Trust In The Living God

The care that is filling your mind 

    at this moment, 

or but waiting till you lay the book aside 

    to leap upon you --

that need which is no need, 

    is a demon sucking at the spring

        of your life. 

"No; mine is a reasonable care -- 

    an unavoidable care, indeed."

Is it something you have to do 

    this very moment? 

"No."

Then you are allowing it to usurp 

    the place of something that is required 

        of you this moment. 

"There is nothing required of me 

    at this moment."

Nay but there is --

    the greatest thing that can be 

        required of a person. 

"Pray, what is it?"

Trust in the living God….

"I do trust Him in spiritual matters."

Everything is an affair of the spirit.
