One of these days is yesterday, yester-day, yesterday with its cares and frets and all its pains and aches, all its faults, mistakes and blunders blund-ers has passed forever beyond recall. And the other day that we do not worry about is tomorrow. to-morrow. Tomorrow with all its possible adversities, its burdens, ils perils, its large promise and poor performance, its failures and mistakes, is as far beyond mastery mas-tery as ils dead sister, yesterday. There is left for ourselves then, but one day in the week today. Anyone can fight the battles of today. Anyone can carry the burdens bur-dens of just one day. Anyone can resist (he temptations of today. It is only when vvc willfully add the burdens of these two awful elements, yesterday and tomorrow tomor-row such burdens as only the mighty God can sustain that we break down. It isn't the experience exper-ience of today that happened yesterday and the dread of what the morrow may disclose. Just think of today and let yesterday go by and don't think about tomorrow. |
