LORD, Thank YOU For Giving Us Each Day Our Daily Bread.

Sufficient strength!

(J.R. Miller, "The Shining Light" 1911)

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

Strength was not promised in advance--
enough for all of life, or even for a year, 
or for a month. The promise was, that 
for each day, when it came with its 
own needs, duties, battles, and griefs--
enough strength would be given. 

As the burden increased--
more strength would be imparted. 
As the night grew darker--
the lamps would shine out 
more brightly.

The important thought here is, 
that strength is not emptied 
into our hearts in bulk--
a supply for years to come--
but is kept in reserve, and 
divinely given day by day, 
just as the day's needs require.

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

"On the day I called, YOU answered me;
YOU increased strength within me!"
Psalm 138:3
