How must have the disciples felt
on this dark Sabbath? Their Savior's broken body lifeless in a grave, dreams
shattered, overwhelming disappointment, confusion. They had no idea that this
day of horrid sorrow was to soon pass; a brilliant new beginning was just hours
away. Lord of Life and Hope, help me to see that the sorrows of today, in fact,
enable me for greater things ahead; joy comes in the morning.
“This is the day that the LORD has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it!” Psalm 118:24 ESV. The table is set for a brand-new day. Only God knows exactly what is already prepared for my arrival in it. I must now leave behind days gone by and ready myself for new insight, a higher life, and greater things. Am I up for what today will bring? Only the day will tell, but the One who provides it will also carry me through it. One thing is sure; I will walk upon on sacred footprints since the Alpha and Omega has already trod this moment in advance, sprinkling blessings and divine opportunities throughout. I must pay attention so I don’t miss a thing He has placed along the path. Lord God, Lover of My Soul, today is the day You have made; I am so good with that and already rejoicing in what is to unfold. Lift me in Your arms and carry me through with faith, joy, and purpose.
