"Jesus said 'Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof' and it's like a theological Rorschach Test:

"Either you read it as saying you don't need to worry because God never gives you more than you can handle

"Or you read it as saying that every day is absolutely stuffed with crap

"I find it a very helpful way to quickly discover how people are really doing, based on which interpretation they first think of."

"Or you read it as saying ...
Deal with what's on you plate today...
don't borrow/dream up trouble
thereby making yourself frantic and causing you to handle today's issues badly

My thought was that this asserts that evil is Parkinsonian: it expands to fill the space available for its commission. And that is why we will never be in danger of running out of it.
