This day
This day. For we are to take no thought for tomorrow (Matthew 6:34). For this very end has our wise Creator divided life into these little portions of time, so clearly separated from each other, that we might look on every day as a fresh gift of God, another life, which we may devote to his glory, and that every evening may be as the close of life, beyond which we are to see nothing but eternity.
