Many people are always dreading coming troubles. They are well enough now, and well enough off, but they may get sick, or they may become poor, or some other trouble may befall them. A large part of human unhappiness is caused by needless forebodings — dreading ills that never happen. It is a miserable way to live, this looking out into the future and filling it with imaginary shapes of evil. No doubt there are real troubles lying concealed in the future for all of us, but let as not dread to go on with quiet faith, since over us the bow of God’s eternal goodness bends.
