for thee, and my strength is made
perfect in your weakness"
Moment by moment I'm kept in
His love,
Moment by moment I've life from
above,
Moment by moment till glory
doth shine,
Moment by moment, o God, I am
thine"
One Step at Time
Finally, when we look into the
context of this wonderful promise
We find that we are only to take
one step at a time each day"
"Thy shoes shall be iron and brass
and as thy days so shall thy strength
be-"
Shoes speak of steps, and the
whole verse suggests steps accord
ing to strength. The psalmist says,
1.-THE steps of good man are or
dered of the Lord" One step at a
time one moment and movement at
at time In any trying circum-
stance, or dark and difficult days
that may come, the Divine promise
is sufficient. The supply of strength
will suffice. Whatever the way may
include, it also will include God and
His All-suffidency. AS the Apostle
Paul once said, Our Suf1ciency is
of God"
Look from all to Jesus,
"Then you need not fear;
Though the way perplex you
Call to Him is clear.
"Cast your present burden,
Leave your future, too,
"Moment-just by moment
"He will bring you through"

Daily Strength
Is furnished,
Minister Says
Lies Worst Fears Are Not
Realized, According
to Sermon.
BY THE REV. WILLIAM III. LEE
SPRATT

BY THE REV. WILLIAM III. LEE
SPRATT
pastor, Victory Memorial Methodist
Protestant church,
Deut. 1925, "As the days so
shall thy strength be-"
What vital and living message
for today. Strength for the day
not as our life, years, months, or
even weeks-but CAS- our days so
shall our strength be-" Not for
tomorrow, but for today. We are
to live. and labor our best, one day
at time, and the blessing of Di-
vine strength is assured.
Let us live one day at a time!
Half the troubles of hfe's highway
are never reached, and our worst
fears are not realized. Oh, the
bridges we build in our minds that
never materialize and which we
never have to cross! God has
promised us strength for the day,
and He will keep His word to those
who are resigned to His will and
purpose. He is the unchanging
amid the changing. He is tine
same yesterday, today and forever"
Therefore, let us step out into
life, assured that the future is only
one day at time, and that each
present day is to be lived in the
power of this glorious promise
las thy days so shall the strength
be-"
1t is equally true that "as our
strength so shall our day be-; that
is, our service should be rendered
to the God given strength,
and ability for the day.
The blessings of yesterday are not
sufficient for today. Yesterdays
measure of service is not sufficient
if todays strength is greater. The
measure of our strength is to be
the measure of our service. So let
us pray with the inspired poet:
Lord, for tomorrow and it's needs
I do not pray;
so make me strong in word and
deed, just for today.
Quotes Livingstone
If We are tempted to dread the
future, let us not forget that with
day our promise holds
good. AS David Livingstone once
wrote, Leave tomorrow's troubles
for tomorrow's strength; tomorrow
work for tomorrow's time; tomor-
rows trial for tomorrow's grace -
and tomorrow's God"
Jesus said: Take no thought
for tomorrow" However, fore
thought is not foreboding. Fore
thought dignifles the days, but
foreboding breads it. Let us re-
member that He has said, 81 will
never leave you nor forsake YOU"
and again my grace is sufficient
