There are some things that God will not tolerate in us. We must leave them. Nehemiah would not talk with Sanballat about his charges and fears. He simply refused to have anything to do with the matter - even to take refuge in the temple to pray about it.
How very few things we really have to do with in life. If we would only drop all the needless things and simply do the things that absolutely require our attention from morning till night we would find what a slender thread life is. But we string upon it a thousand imaginary beads and burden ourselves with cares and flurries that - if we had trusted more - would never have needed to preoccupy us.
Wise indeed is the testimony of the dear old saint who said, in review of her past life, "I have had a great many troubles in my life, especially those that never came."
