ing for you to
eat, or to see to your clothes, or to keep a home for you to live in? No
one to take any notice if you hurt yourself ever so badly, or if you were
ever so ill? You would feel then what a difference being cared for makes
to your life. But all the earthly care for you comes because "He careth
for you." He planned and arranged everything, without your having anything
to do with it, so that you shall be cared for. And He did not arrange it
once for all, and then leave things to go on as might happen. No! Every
day, every moment, He careth, _goes on_ caring, for you. Not only thinking
of you and watching you, but working for you; making things come right, so
that everything should be just the best that could happen to you. Not
managing the great things, and leaving the little things to arrange
themselves; but giving loving care to the least, the very least things
that concern you. Even in some tiny little trouble which no one else seems
to care about, "He careth;" or when every one else is too much taken up
with other things to attend to you, "He careth for you."

You can never get beyond God's care, for it always reaches you; you can
never be outside of it, for it is always enfolding you.

"'Who will take care of me?' darling, you say,
Lovingly, tenderly watched as you are?
Listen! I give you the answer to-day,
One who is never forgetful or far.

"He will take care of you! All through the year
Crowning each day with His kindness and love,
Sending you blessings and shielding from fear,
Leading you on to His bright home above."

Under His Wings.

"Under His wings shall thou trust."--Ps. xci. 4.

That means to-day, not some other time! Under His wings, the shadowing
wings of the Most High, you, poor little helpless one, are to trust
to-day.

When the little eaglets, that have not yet a feather to fly with, are
under the great wings of the parent eagle, how safe they are! Who would
dare touch them? If a bold climber put his hand into the nest then, those
powerful wings would beat him in a minute from his hold, and he would fall
down the rocks and be dashed to pieces. So safe shall you be "under His
wings," "nothing shall by any means hurt you" there.

When the wild snow-storms rage round the eyrie, and the mountain cold is
felt, that is death to an unprotected sleeper, how warm the little eaglets
are kept! Not an arrow of the ke
