  “谨守训言的，必得好处；倚靠耶和华的，便为有福”（箴16:20）。[1]

  He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.Proverbs 16:20.{RRe 9.1}[1]

开朗的宗教-第8章

  如果我们愿意倾听，上帝所创造的万物必教导我们顺从和信靠的宝贵教训。从天空中遵循无形的轨道世世代代运行的星球，到最小的原子，自然界的一切事物都顺从创造主的旨意。上帝看顾和维持祂所创造的万物。那位在太空中托住无数星球的主，也爱护那些婉转歌唱，无所惧怕的棕色小鸟。当人类每天出去劳作，当他向上帝祈祷，夜里睡觉，早晨起来，无论是富人豪宅里的欢宴，还是穷人与孩子们的简单聚餐，他们都得到天父的温柔看顾。上帝关注着每一滴眼泪和每一张笑容。[2]

开朗的宗教-第8章

  If we will but listen, God’s created works will teach us precious lessons of obedience and trust. From the stars that in their trackless course through space, follow from age to age their appointed path, down to the minutest atom, the things of nature obey the Creator’s will. And God cares for everything and sustains everything that He has created. He who upholds the unnumbered worlds throughout immensity, at the same time cares for the wants of the little brown sparrow that sings its humble song without a fear. When men go forth to their daily toil, as when they engage in prayer; when they lie down at night, and when they rise in the morning; when the rich man feasts in his palace, or when the poor man gathers his children about the scanty board, each is tenderly watched by the heavenly Father. No tears are shed that God does not notice. There is no smile that He does not mark.{RRe 9.2}[2]

  只要我们充分相信这一点，一切不必要的忧虑就会消除。我们的生活就不再象现在那样充满失望。因为每一件事情，小论大小．都可以交在上帝手中。祂决不会因众多的眷念而烦心，也不会被众人的重负所压垮。这样，我们的心里就得享受许多人所从未领略的安息。（SC 85、86）[3]

开朗的宗教-第8章

  If we would but fully believe this, all undue anxieties would be dismissed. Our lives would not be so filled with disappointment as now; for everything, whether great or small, would be left in the hands of God, who is not perplexed by the multiplicity of cares, or overwhelmed by their weight. We should then enjoy a rest of soul to which many have long been strangers.—Steps to Christ, 86.{RRe 9.3}[3]
