But God does not require us to carry the whole at once.
He mercifully unties the bundle, and gives us first one stick, which we are able to carry today...
And then another, which we are able to carry tomorrow; and so on.
This we can easily manage-if we would only take the burden appointed for us each day.
But we foolishly choose to increase our trouble, by carrying yesterday's stick over again today...
And adding tomorrow's burden before we are required to bear it.
Deu 33:25 Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.
