22. Thy burden. What your God lays upon
you, lay upon the Lord. His wisdom casts it on you; it is your wisdom to
cast it on him. He gives you your portion of suffering; accept it with cheerful
resignation, and then take it back to him by your assured confidence. He shall sustain thee. Your bread will be given you; your waters will be sure.
Abundant nourishment will fit you to bear all your labors and trials. As your
days, so shall your strength be. He shall never suffer the righteous to bemoved. He may move like the boughs of a tree in the tempest, but he will
never be moved like a tree torn up by the roots. Many wish to destroy the
saints, but God has not suffered it, and never will.
