When Tomorrow Comes
Click below to listen to today's devotional
An Ironman triathlete told me the secret of his success: “You last the long race by running the short ones.” In other words, don’t swim 2.4 miles; just swim to the next buoy. Never tackle more than the challenge ahead.
Didn’t Jesus offer the same counsel? “So don’t ever worry about tomorrow. After all, tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matthew 6:34).
Face challenges in stages. You can’t control your temper forever, but you can control it for the next hour. You last the long race by running the short ones. You don’t have wisdom for tomorrow’s needs, but you will tomorrow. You don’t have resources for tomorrow’s needs, but you will tomorrow. You don’t have courage for tomorrow’s challenges. But you will, when tomorrow comes.
