There came in still further yesterday morning for the Orphans from A. A.
13s. 1d., from a brother 1l., from "A friend at Stirling" 6s., and from
an Irish sister 5s.--Thus I could send still further this morning to
the matrons, before my departure, 4l. 11s. 1d., so that I am able to
leave about 16l, behind, and thus the need is supplied for about five
days, humanly speaking; and before that time is gone, I expect to obtain
more, by waiting upon God.
This morning, before we departed, I received a letter in which was the
following sentence: "With regard to property I do not see my way
clearly. I trust it is all indeed at the disposal of the Lord; and if
you would let me know of any need of it in His service, any sum under
200l. shall be at your disposal at about a week's notice." This
brother meant what he said, I have every reason to believe. I might have
written; "The Orphans, my dear brother, are now in need, and it would be
a particular comfort to me, as I am going away, if you would send me
190l.," and I doubt not that I should have had it after a week. I
preferred, however, to continue, as heretofore, to deal with God alone
in this service, that the church of Christ at large still further may be
benefited, particularly those who are weak in the faith, or those who
are recently brought to the knowledge of our Lord Jesus, in seeing how
blessed it is to make known our requests unto God, and that those who
trust in Him are not confounded. I therefore wrote to this brother, with
regard to his kind offer, that I only speak to the Lord about my need.
May, 9, Saturday. This evening, after an absence of 19 days, we returned
to Bristol. During all this time the Lord supplied us with means, but it
was almost always by the day. During the last days, in the course of my
regular meditation on the New Testament, I came to that precious word:
"Casting all your care upon Him: for He careth for you," 1 Peter, v. 7,
and, by God's grace, I was able to cast all my care concerning His
work on the Lord; and when we returned this evening I found, that for
this day also the Lord had not only provided, but there was 1l. 16s. 3
1/2 d. more than was needed.
