SABRINA

We often pray The Lord’s Prayer. “Give us this day, our
daily bread” Those words really struck home to me the
other day as I read a quote from C.S. Lewis. “Never, in
peace or war, commit your virtue or your happiness to the
future. Happy work is best done by the man who takes his
long­term plans somewhat lightly and works from moment
to moment ‘as to the Lord.’

It is only our daily bread that we are encouraged to ask for.
The present is the only time in which any duty can be done
or any grace received.”  TODAY is all we are to ask for ­
Give us TODAY, what we need for TODAY.

While we have to be prepared, how much simpler, more
free, would our lives be if we did not borrow the stresses
and problems from tomorrow before the sun ever rises on
tomorrow? God gives us strength, grace and perseverance
for today.  Find comfort and peace in knowing that the God
of the universe holds you and your day in the palm of His
great hand.

Whatever comes your way TODAY, your needs will be met.
Will it be easy? Maybe so, maybe not ­ but at the end of
your day you can know that God has walked through it with
you.
