One Day At A Time

One Day At A Time

This has been a great summer, and it has been a challenging summer. There have been moment of intense battles and moments of glorious victory.

God knows JUST what we need and when. Today I came across this poem written by the song writer, Annie Johnson Flint who wrote the beloved gospel song, HE GIVETH MORE GRACE ...

One day at a time with its failures and fears,
With its hurts and mistakes, with its weakness and tears,
With its portion of pain and its burden of care;
One day at a time we must meet and must bear.

One day at a time to be patient and strong;
To be calm under trial and sweet under wrong;
Then its toiling shall pass and its sorrow shall cease
It shall darken and die, and the night shall bring peace.

One day at a time -- but the day is so long,
And the heart is not brave, and the soul is not strong;
O Thou pitying Christ, be thou near all the way;
Give courage and patience and strength for the day.

Swift cometh His answer, so clear and so sweet;
"Yea, I will be with thee, nor fail thee, nor grieve;
I will not forsake thee; I will never leave thee."

Not yesterday's load we are called on to bear,
Nor tomorrow's uncertain and shadowy care,
Why should we look forward or back with dismay?
Our needs, as our mercies, are but for the day.

One day at a time, and the day is HIS day;
He hath numbered its hours, though they haste or delay.
His grace is sufficient, we walk not alone;
As the day, so the strength that He giveth His own.

Aren't you thankful that He asks us to live ONE DAY AT A TIM! I am! -- Bill Welte is President and CEO of America's KESWICK
