"Jehoiachin was not sent away from the king's palace with a store to last him for months, but his provision was given him as a daily pension. Herein he well pictures the happy position of all the Lord's people. A daily portion is all that a man really wants. We do not need tomorrow's supplies; that day has not yet dawned, and its wants are as yet unborn. The thirst which we may suffer in the month of June does not need to be quenched in February, for we do not feel it yet; if we have enough for each day as the days arrive we shall never know want. Sufficient for the day is all that we can enjoy. We cannot eat or drink or wear more than the day's supply of food and raiment; the surplus gives us the care of storing it, and the anxiety of watching against a thief. One staff aids a traveller, but a bundle of staves is a heavy burden. Enough is not only as good as a feast, but is all that the greatest glutton can truly enjoy." — C.H. Spurgeon, Morning and Evening
Enough is as good as a feast.
You cannot satisfy tomorrow's hunger or eat tomorrow's calories.
You cannot warm tomorrow's toes or blow tomorrow's nose.
Our daily portion is all we need.
We never need tomorrow's needs.
Lamentations 3:22-23
It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, Because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: Great is thy faithfulness.
God gives grace daily.
He serves fresh mercy every day.
We could not store it.
We could never have too much.
We could never have more than we need.
Matthew 6:11
Give us this day our daily bread.
Sufficient for the day is the need He requires us to request.
Matthew 6:34
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Enough is as good as a feast. The one who has enough has no less than the one who has more than he needs. The one with enough doesn't need any more and the one with too much cannot eat the leftovers.
