Thoughtful Preparedness

Thursday. Exod. 16: 21-30.

Thinking ahead is common with thoughtful people. The housewife “sets the sponge” the night before. The engineer “oils up” before train-time. Even the squirrel stores away nuts for winter, and the dog’ll bury a bone against hungry-time. Nothing ever happens: whatever good comes has been thought out by somebody. Let us plan ahead thoughtfully, sensibly, for God’s day. It’ll make the day more restful and sweeter, and put a hallowing touch on all the weekdays, too.
