Verse 34
34. Morrow… take thought The morrow is here finely personified. Do you take care for the morrow? Do duty for to-day and the morrow will be God’s messenger, when it comes, to take care of you. Day… evil thereof Do not bring to-morrow’s trials into to-day; for to-day has its own sufficient concern, as to-morrow has its.
No man is so safe as the child of God. No man is bound to be so cheerful. If he rise into the true position of the man of faith, no one can be so fearless, so brave, so generous, so patient, so manly. Buoyancy is with him a duty, and despondency is a sin. Let him toil, for that is duty; but let no care, that is, double-minded distrust, cloud his brow, for that is usurping the prerogative of God. Let him earnestly labour, lavishly do good, serenely suffer, and great are his treasures above.
