LEAVING THINGS IN GODS HANDS ~ By Emmet Fox

Make Your Life Worthwhile

People sometimes speakof leaving a problem in God's hands. Of course this is an excellent thing to do, and especially where it seems that there is nothing else that can be done about it.

You should be careful, however, that you know the true meaning of this phrase. To leave a thing in God's hands does not mean simply to hand it over to God, and then forget all about it; o, what is worse, to permit ourselves to think negatively about it from time to time.

It means that every time the subject comes to mind you must affirm that God is solving the problem in His own good way, and that all will be well. If you follow this policy the demonstration will come sooner or later.

The way to treat a bulb is to put it in the ground ina suitable place, where it will hav the right kind of soil and enough moisture, and, later on when it is ready, plenty of sunshine too. That is working in harmony with the laws of nature.

To throw it into a drawer and forget about it is a different thing altogether. That is not leaving it to nature, but the contrary. The first policy is creative, the other is not.

So it is with your problems. Leaving them in God's hands is a living, creative spiritual activity.

"Be still, and know that I am God." *

*Psalm 46:10.
