Today's Daily Lesson comes from Matthew 6 verses 9 through 13:
9 ‘Pray then in this way:
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
10 Your kingdom come.
Your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And do not bring us to the time of trial,
but rescue us from the evil one.
"A day at a time."
That's what I like to tell friends who are on the journey but still have a long ways to go. We can only get there a day at a time. And we only need the strength and sustenance to make it through a day at a time.
We don't have to forgive any more than a day at a time.
We don't have to stay sober any more than a day at a time.
We don't have to stay alive any more than a day at a time.
We don't even have to pay the bills any more than a day at a time.
One day at a time. One thing at a time. One little move at a time.
God sends us our daily bread. It ain't much; but it's probably all we can carry while we're walking the wilderness road.
