One Day At A Time

Thought For Today

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Friday morning, the 19th of July, 2024, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We go to the Book of Psalms 37:25:

"I have been young, and now am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his descendants begging bread."

Wow! What a beautiful promise from the Lord. Maybe today you are worried, worried about the future; worried about your family; maybe you have got a sick member in your family; maybe you are financially strapped, and you don't know how it's going to work out for tomorrow. Well, the Lord is telling us very clearly not to worry about tomorrow, He says, for tomorrow has enough worries of its own. Do you remember that beautiful old Gospel song that goes like this: "One day at a time, sweet Jesus"? Do you remember that? I am going to read you the words of that beautiful song. This is how it goes:

I'm only human
I am just a man
Help me believe in what I could be
And all that I am

Show me the stairway
That I have to climb
Lord, for my sake, please teach me to take
One day at a time

One day at a time, sweet Jesus
That's all I am asking of You
Just give me the strength to do everyday
What I have to do

Yesterday's gone, sweet Jesus
And tomorrow may never be mine
Lord, help me today
Show me the way
One day at a time

Do you remember
When You walked among men?
Well, Jesus, You know
If You're looking below
That it's worse now than then
Oh, there's pushing and shoving
And it's crowding my mind
So, Lord, for my sake
Teach me to take
One day at a time

One day at a time, sweet Jesus
That's all I'm asking of You
Just give me the strength to do everyday
What I have to do

Yesterday's gone, sweet Jesus
And tomorrow may never be mine
Lord, help me today
Show me the way
One day at a time

Lord, help me today
Show me the way
One day at a time

Listen carefully to the words of that beautiful song and apply them to your life today.
Jesus bless you and goodbye.
