For most people, the day rolls on with a relative regularity. We wake up, we eat, we work, we come home, we relax, and then we go to sleep--wake up and repeat. Everyday, though, has its own set of troubles and its own schedule of things that need to be done. There is a natural undulation that is the passage of day to night to day again.
I know this information. It is fundamental for life as a human. But from time to time I still find myself unable to handle the passage of the day with grace or forbearance. There are those days that are so overstuffed and over-scheduled that I feel like my head is going to explode from my deficient inabilities to multitask effectively.
It is at these moments that I need to remember the profound truth: God created the days and the nights for a reason.
When God tells us to rest on the seventh day, He says that for our benefit. And when Jesus tells us not to worry about tomorrow because every day has its own troubles, He says that for our benefit. The God-ordained passage of days is for our benefit too. This is such a comfort to me on days that feel overwhelming. Praise God for the gift of a day!
