Let us not make ourselves miserable over tomorrow’s burdens. Bravely and cheerfully carry the burdens of today. Today’s trust and faith we must have. But we are not asked to live more than a day at a time. He who gives strength for today will give strength for tomorrow.—The Signs of the Times, November 5, 1902. (In Heavenly Places, 269.) {2MCP 473.1} Strength for Every Trial—Our heavenly Father measures and weighs every trial before He permits it to come upon the believer. He considers the circumstances and the strength of the one who is to stand under the proving and test of God, and He never permits the temptations to be greater than the capacity of resistance. If the soul is overborne, the person overpowered, this can never be charged to God, as failing to give strength in grace, but the one tempted was not vigilant and prayerful and did not appropriate by faith the provisions God had abundantly in store for him. Christ never failed a believer in his hour of combat. The believer must claim the promise and meet the foe in the name of the Lord, and he will not know anything like failure.—MS 6, 1889. {2MCP 473.2}

Lad os ikke blive elendige over morgendagens byrder. Tage bravt og glædeligt dagens byrder. Vi må have dagens tillid og tro. Men vi er ikke pålagt at leve mere end en dag ad gangen. Han som giver styrke i dag vil give os styrke i morgen. — The Signs of the Times, 5. november, 1902. (In Heavenly Places, 269.)
