God's
Days
-Robert J. Burdette
There are two days in the week upon which and about
which I never worry -- two carefree days kept sacredly free from fear and
apprehension. One of these days is Yesterday. 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 man can fight the battles of today. Any woman can carry
the burdens of just one day; any man can resist the temptation 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 men
mad. It is the remorse of what happened Yesterday and fear of what Tomorrow
might bring. These are God's Days Leave them to Him.
