One Day at a Time

God told Joshua that he would give Israel the Promised Land little by little. They didn’t take it all at once. Joshua 3.29 But I will not drive them out in a single year, because the land would become desolate and the wild animals too numerous for you. 30 Little by little I will drive them out before you, until you have increased enough to take possession of the land. Live one day at a time. Don’t become overwhelmed. Get your eyes off the entire war and fight your battles one at a time. With each victory you gain confidence. Nothing will be able to stop you because God with you. But you have to do it little by little.

I have a friend in Syracuse who says this too. One day at a time. Her husband and she are both in poor health. Life is difficult for them, but this "one day at a time" attitude helps them carry on, even cheerfully. She has more smile on her face than anyone you can think of. Berlin
