Bible Note: Dear Noble, Matt 6:34 "So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Who knows what tomorrow holds? We pilgrims have just enough grace on our plates to take care of us today. Pehaps tomorrow God will send us sailing only He knows where. Round the world or round the block, it is all the same to Him and so should it be with us. You just have to love Watts, don't you? He cuts right to where we live. Personally I like the idea of being bourne aloft to heaven on flowery beds of ease. But I suppose that with all the sanctifiying I need, it's unlikely that I will be transported in quite that way. Good Night, John |
