That he maintain the cause of his servant,

as every day shall require. 1 Kings viii. 59 (R.V.).

THE marginal (R. V.) reading is, "The thing of a day in its day." What
rest would come into our lives, if we really believed that God
maintained the cause of his servants! Men hate you, and say unkind or
untrue things about you; on your part, though you are quite prepared to
admit that you have made mistakes, yet you know that you desire above
all things to act as God's servant should, that your motives are
sincere, and your hands clean ‑‑ be of good courage then:
God will maintain your cause, as every day may require.

Or, you are beset by strong competition; and, in order to hold your own,
you have been tempted to do what is not perfectly the best
‑‑ to spice your teaching with a little heterodoxy, puff
your wares with misleading titles, to adulterate your goods. But there
is no need to do this; if only you are faithful to God, He will maintain
your cause, as every day may require.

Or, you are tempted almost beyond endurance, and think that you must
yield. The seductions are so insidious, the pitfalls so carefully
concealed, the charm of evil so subtle. But, if you will only look away
to God, you will find Him a very present help to maintain your cause.
Oh, trust Him; for none of them that do so can be desolate. Daily
strength for daily need; daily manna for daily hunger; daily maintenance
for daily temptation. These are assured.

As we stand on the hill‑top in the morning and look across the
valley of the coming day, its scenes are too closely veiled in
heavy‑hanging mists for us to specify all our requests. We can
breathe the comprehensive petition, "Give us this day our daily bread."
And God will suit his help to each requirement. As the moment arrives
"the thing" will be there.
