Just Today
“Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof” (Matthew 6:33-34).
“I can remember once,” says an elderly man, “when I was a boy, helping my mother to store away apples. I put my arms around ever so many of them and tried to carry them all. I managed for a step or two. Then out fell one, and another, and two or three more, until they were all rolling on the floor. Mother laughed. “‘Now Daniel,’ she said, ‘I am going to teach you a spiritual lesson.’ So she put my hands tight around one apple. ‘There,’ she said, ‘carry that, then fetch another. And remember, don’t go trying to put your arms around a year! Nor even try to carry a whole week! Say to yourself, Another day has come. Lord, help me to live it for Thee. Help me to cleanse my way and walk in Thy fear, just today.’ ”
What good advice from a godly mother!
