Life is a journey. A long journey that measures distance by time. The road is not smooth, for it is paved with challenges and opportunities. There are ups and downs on the way—moments of triumphs and moments of failures. We begin our life’s journey with a step, but to reach our destination, we must keep moving forward one step at a time. We must live one day at a time. How? By trusting and obeying God’s leading DAY BY DAY. By depending on Him moment by moment, as He unfolds His plan for our lives—little by little, one by one, from glory to glory. Living one day at a time is not always easy, but God has promised us sufficient grace for the journey. He will provide the strength we need for everything that comes our way. “Christ has given us no promise of help in bearing today the burdens of tomorrow… His grace is bestowed daily, for the day’s need” (E.G. White). Our Lord “daily loads us with benefits” (Psalm 68:19; cf. Matthew 6:11, 34; Deuteronomy 7:22). It’s why we must trust Him—every day, come what may.—Samuel Koranteng-Pipim
