There is no shortage of hatred in
this world. Every human spends time on one side or the other of animosity, usually
both. Anger leads to bitterness, bitterness leads to hatred, hatred leads to
death. Proverbs declares: “Whoever conceals hatred with lying lips and spreads
slander is a fool.” Galatians places hatred in context: “idolatry and
witchcraft; hatred, discord,
jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions.” Wow! Father,
deliver me from even the slightest element of hatred.
“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.
