These times
feel like a forced march through barren desert. While in fact, most trials are shared
with many others, it can feel very personal, a private purgatory. God’s desire
for me to be more like Him requires that I pass this way. A protracted, severe
trial is a pristine environment for faith and faithfulness to develop. I am
willing Lord, strengthen me that I may walk the distance. Provoke me to
remember others.
“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.
