Giving All Every Day—By taking one step after another, the
highest ascent may be climbed and the summit of the mount may be
reached at last. Do not become overwhelmed with the great amount
of work you must do in your lifetime, for you are not required to do
it all at once. Let every power of your being go to each day’s work,
improve each precious opportunity, appreciate the helps that God gives
you, and make advancement up the ladder of progress step by step.
Remember that you are to live but one day at a time, that God has
given you one day, and heavenly records will show how you have
valued its privileges and opportunities. May you so improve every day
given you of God that at last you may hear the Master say, “Well done,
thou good and faithful servant” (
Matthew 25:21
).—YI, Jan 5, 1893.
