The Two Sufficients

“Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” – Matthew 6:34
“My grace is sufficient for thee. “- II Corinthians 12:9

Evil shall pass with the day that brought it,
As the sea is stayed by the barrier land;
When the Giver of Good shall say, “No farther,”
And bid the foeman restrain his hand;
But the grace of the Lord outstays the evil,
Outlasts the darkness, outruns the morn,
Outwatches the stars in their nightly vigil,
And the foe that returns with the day re-born,
As he left it unwearied, shall find it unworn.

– Annie Johnson Flint
