"As Your Days, So Shall Your Strength Be!"

This lesson makes life easy and simple!

(J.R. Miller, "Help for the Day")

"As your days--so shall your strength be!"
Deuteronomy 33:25

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.

It has enough to fill heart and hands

for the one full day. The very best we

can do for any day, 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 duties

of each day, wasting no strength, either

in grieving over yesterday's failures--

or in anxiety about tomorrow's responsibilities.

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, 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 that dismays

and appalls us. This lesson 

makes life easy and simple!

"Give us this day our daily bread." 
Matthew 6:11
