Me: Sometimes we need to be told loud and clear.

Prodigal: We often want to get our hands over everything and we really do not need too.

This is from the book Joy in Christ’s Presence by Charles Spurgeon

In this way I have deliberately given up many a trying situation into the Lord’s care. And when any of my friends have said to me, “What about so and so?” I have simply answered, “I do not know, and I no longer take the trouble to know. The Lord will interpose in some way or other, but I will trouble no more about it.”

No horrible turn of events has ever occurred in a matter that I have left in God’s care. Keeping my hands out of such things has been pure wisdom. “Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD” (Exodus 14:13) is God’s own precept. Let us follow Jesus in this.

The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.

PSALM 93 : 4
