Philippians 2:23-24 Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.… The child at school is not to lean his elbow on the table, and vex himself by thinking how he shall find raiment, how he shall get home, how the expense of his education is to be defrayed. He is a learner; he is to mind his book — the father requires no more of him — he will provide. The farmer is not to muse from day to day about the weather: "Perhaps it may not be a fine season — there may be a blight — and all my labour may be lost." No: but he is to act; he goes forth bearing precious seed, commits it to the ground, and then pursues his other business — and what can his anxiety do afterwards? The soldier is to learn his exercise, to obey the word of command, to keep his arms bright, to be always at the post assigned him; but he is not to neglect all this, by busying himself in drawing plans of the campaign, and describing the duties of the general. (W. Jay.)
