Who does not many a time have his day’s beautiful schedule disarranged by little things that come in, without announcements, and claim his thought, his time, and his strength? Sometimes we may be disposed to chafe a little at what seems to be interference with the programme we have mapped out for ourselves in the morning. But we should remember that we are learning by practice. We promised to do God’s will all the day, and these things are God’s will for us. We had left no place for doing things for God, and He had to force them into our well ordered schedule.
