Our Privilege

That his followers might know the peace of perfect trust in him, Jesus said: “Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” The thought is: there is enough of care in each day, without bringing into it the cares of other days. Christ has promised grace for each day’s duties on the day in which they must be done. “As thy days, so shall thy strength be.” Says one writer: “We never have grace given us for imaginary troubles, and that is why they are so hard to bear.” When the troubles of to-morrow are brought into to-day, we have only our own weakness to oppose to them; but when they are left where they belong, we can meet them in the strength of God. Such is the blessed privilege of him who has made Christ his choice.
