The Day Before

When God has a great work for us to do he prepares us in various

ways for that work. Of course we should cooperate with him. An old

Greek officer counselled the generals on the eve of an engagement, “The secret of victory is getting a good ready.” It was in line with this when General Foch said: “Battles are won the day before.” Did not Wellington say that Waterloo was won at Eton?
