"As your days, so shall your strength be." (Dt.33:25) That's a good word for today...and everyday.
I loved reading these words from Charles Hadden Spurgeon on this one little verse. Spurgeon noted that the verse does not say "As your months may demand...or as your years may demand."
No, God's empowerment, God's grace, God's enabling strength for us comes wrapped in daily packages. And you won't receive that precious package until the day it is needed. God will not give you tomorrow's grace today. But you can trust that when tomorrow arrives, His grace, His peace, His power will be sufficient for tomorrow's needs and challenges.
Here's how Spurgeon explained it: "You are not going to have Monday's grace given you on a Sunday, nor Tuesday's grace on a Monday. You shall have Monday's grace given you as you rise and want it; you shall not have it given you on Saturday night; you shall have it day by day....As thy days, so shall thy strength be."
No matter what this day has in store for us, God's got it, so we can lean in on Him and trust that His strength will be more than sufficient for our every hour of this day. And tomorrow? Our Lord's already been there, for He is the great I Am--eternally present. "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." (Heb.13:8)
Since He's already been to every one of our tomorrows, we can entrust all of those tomorrows, no matter what they might hold, to Him as well. We rest secure in the knowledge that should our Lord awaken us in the morning, He will give us everything we need to live that new day by His grace and for His glory.
"This is the day. This day bears significance. Any day God commands the sun to rise is sacred. Live this day as those calendared and called." Beth Moore
We only have this day...and whatever this day might bring, God will always, always, always be enough. So live it freely and fully to His glory and know that I Am has tomorrow fully covered as well.
To God be the glory.
