Every season of
life brings its own joys and disappointments. Letdowns seem to accrue more
easily than gladness. King David found it necessary to remind himself of God’s
blessings and to command his own soul to praise God. A quick inventory of
things for which I can be thankful ignites my soul, releasing joy and praise. O
Lord my God, my heart is jubilant as I contemplate Your goodness.
“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.
