Do you remember these lyrics?
One day at a time sweet Jesus that's all I'm asking from you
Give me the strength to do everyday what I have to do
Yesterday's gone sweet Jesus and tomorrow may never be mine
So for my sake teach me to take one day at a time
When I think of this word Time, this verse pops into my head.
I don't sing it, I used to belt it out, but my poor hubby would cringe. When he worked in prison ministry it was one of the favourite songs of the guys and... well let's just say that overuse does not make friends. :)
But the fact remains... we aren't asked to take on the rest of our lives. We aren't. We are asked to trust God for the grace to day by day live out the lives that he has given us. To love those around us, to share who he is within our sphere of influence, to live our lives in obedience to his will.
Just one day.
No more, no less.
Not living in our yesterdays and tomorrows.
Just one day.
