"Do not fret therefore in view of tomorrow for tomorrow will have its own anxieties." (Matthew 6:34, Berkeley Version.)
You and I are to take our trials, our black Fridays, our lone and long nights, and we are to come to Him and say, "Manage these, Thou Wondrous Friend, Who canst turn the very night into the morning; manage these for me!"
"I heard a voice at evening softly say,
Bear not thy yesterday into tomorrow;
Nor load this week with last week's load of sorrow.
Lift all thy burdens as they come, nor try
To weight the present with the by and by.
One step and then another, take thy ways-
Live by the day!
Though autumn leaves are withering round thy way,
Walk in the sunshine. It is all for thee.
Push straight ahead, as long as thou canst see.
Dread not the winter whither thou mayst go,
But when it comes, be thankful for the snow.
Onward and upward, look and smile and pray-
Live by the day!"
-J. H. May
Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.
I thought the above was a really lovely poem, and its so good to know we have such a Wondrous Friend, Who can manage all things very well!!
