One can only apply oneself to adding value to today.

It is so very true of life; it is so often experienced that tomorrow or some future day holds surprises that change everything.

The certainty of both the amount of and the power of The Unknown MUST be taken for granted.

So it is only today, or the present, or the now that can be grasped- for God; for right; for righteousness; for flying with the eagles. Refer to the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus says plainly, "Take no thought for tomorrow; sufficient for the day is the evil thereof..."

PART TWO

The focus we must have is to help others and thereby combat the evil. It is ever true that our brother is experiencing evil against him. Our brother can not fight well against his own distress, depression and discouragement, but we can. We fight for him by encouraging, edifying, blessing, etc.- in a word LOVING him.

This is also our own necessity. Again we can not win through on our own power alone. We too need love and this is willingly provided by God for us through other people.

Blessings forever in Christ,
