Sufficient Unto the Day

Do not sound an alarm, Dear One. You would not accomplish the purposes you hope; those you seek to warn would draw together but only because you would provide them a common foe. The underlying issues would not be brought to light because those you seek to warn would perceive themselves to be under attack.

You are viewing this situation as a compendium of threats, and you need to accept that your perspective may be inaccurate. In this sense, the perspective of youth, even in its naiveté, is more accurate than yours; because youth does not perceive future threat. By contrast, in your propensity for getting the “big picture,” you attempt to face all of the foes of the next 30 years concentrated at one point on your time-line. Battles come one at a time. They will be fought one at a time. You have forgotten that the Lord grants strength only for the battles of the day. All of the resources for the entire war are not given all at once. That would be like attempting to pour the ocean into a teacup; you can’t accommodate the whole of God's provision for you. He gives only what is needed for this day.

You don’t have fight this battle. Stand firm and watch. Trust in the Lord. You don’t have to accomplish deliverance, and you do not need to call a warning.

Scripture: "You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the LORD will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged" (2 Chronicles 20:17).
