This lesson makes life
easy and simple!
so shall your strength be!"
Deuteronomy 33:25
We have nothing to do with
life in the aggregate--
that great bulk of duties,
responsibilities, struggles,
and trials which belong
to a course of years.
We really have nothing to do even
with the nearest of the days before us--
tomorrow. Our sole business is with
the one little day which is now passing.
Its burdens will not crush us--
we can easily carry them until
the sun goes down. We can always
get along for one short day--
it is the projection of life into
the long future, which dismays
and appalls us.
Each day is, in a certain sense,
a complete life by itself. It has
its own duties,
its own trials,
its own burdens,
and its own needs.
The very best we can do
for the perfecting of our life
as a whole, is to live
the one day well.
We should put all our thought and
energy and skill into the duty of
each day, wasting no strength,
either in grieving over
yesterday's failures--
or in anxiety about
tomorrow's responsibilities.
This lesson makes life
easy and simple!
tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry
about itself. Each day has enough
trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34
