DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.B. Simpson emphasizes the importance of casting our cares upon God,
illustrating how Nehemiah chose to ignore distractions and focus on what
truly mattered. He points out that many of our burdens are self-imposed,
stemming from worries about things that may never happen. By simplifying
our lives and trusting in God's plan, we can find peace and rest, much
like a bird resting in its nest. The sermon encourages believers to let
go of unnecessary concerns and to trust that God is working for their
good.

CONTENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are some things that God will not tolerate in us. We must leave
them. Nehemiah would not talk with Sanballat about his charges and
fears. He simply refused to have anything to do with the matter-even to
take refuge in the temple to pray about it. How very few things we
really have to do with in life. If we would only drop all the needless
things and simply do the things that absolutely require our attention
from morning till night, we would find what a small slender thread life
is.

But we string upon it a thousand imaginary beads and burden ourselves
with cares and flurries that-if we had trusted more-would never have
needed to preoccupy us.

Wise indeed was the testimony of the dear old saint who said, in review
of her past life, "I have had a great many troubles in my life,
especially those that never came." Trust and rest with heart abiding,
Like a birdling in its nest, Underneath His feathers hiding, Fold thy
wings and trust and rest. Trust and rest, trust and rest, God is working
for the best.
