“Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” – Ephesians 5:20.
There’s a man in a highly challenging job who seemed to always be in a good frame of mind when he got home, regardless of how challenging the day had been. When queried about how he did it, the man said, “I have a little copper beech tree in the yard by the front door and I call it my ‘private trouble tree’. Every night when I come home, I mentally hand all the day’s troubles on that tree and I say to myself, ‘Hand there for the night, I’ll pick you up when I start for work in the morning’. The funning thing about it, he continued, is that half the time when I leave the house the next morning I discover that most of what I thought were trouble when I hung them up had blown away during the night. Even the ones that are still hanging there are not half as heavy or worrisome as they seemed when I came home the night before”.
Casting all your care upon Him, for He careth for you” (I Peter 5:7).
Therefore cast your cares and troubles on His Cross. Don’t carry the burden that does not belong to you!
