let Christ manage the providing

From Spurgeon's December 19 Morning Devotion material on Proverbs 16:33,

"When a man is anxious he cannot pray with faith; when he is troubled about the world, he cannot serve his Master, for his thoughts are serving himself.

If you would 'seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness,' all things would then be added to you.

You are meddling with Christ's business and neglecting your own when you fret about your lot and circumstances. You have been trying to do the providing and forgetting to do the obeying.

Be wise and pay attention to the obeying, and let Christ manage the providing."
