“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow,
for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” (Matthew 6:34 NIV)
There are two days in the week upon
which, and about which I do not worry -- two carefree days kept sacredly free
from fear and apprehension. One of these days is Yesterday, with its cares and frets and pains and aches, all its
faults, its mistakes and blunders, has passed forever beyond my recall. It was
mine; it is God's.
The other day that I do not worry about
is Tomorrow. Tomorrow, with all its
possible adversities, its burdens, its perils, its large promise and
performance, its failures and mistakes, is as far beyond my mastery as its dead
sister, Yesterday. Tomorrow is God's Day; it will be mine.
There is left, then, for myself but one
day in the week -- Today. Any person
can fight the battles of today. Any woman can carry the burdens of just one
day; any man can resist the temptations of today. It is only when we willfully
add the burdens of these two awful eternities -- Yesterday and Tomorrow -- such
burdens as only the Mighty God can sustain -- that we break down.
It isn't the experience of Today that
drives people mad. It is the remorse of what happened Yesterday and the fear of
what Tomorrow might bring. These are God's Days -- leave them to Him.
-- Unknown, quoted by Doris W. Greig in “We Didn't Know They
Were Angels”
