While on a morning walk I scanned
the bright blue sky above and counted over thirty contrails slicing across the
azure canopy. The wispy white streaks silently announce the passing of
high-flying planes filled with passengers and cargo. I would have missed it all
if I never looked up. How much in life do I miss for failure to follow King
David’s example: “I lift up my Eyes to the heavens.” Lord of Glory, you act
within the heavenlies to enforce You will in the earth. Help me to keep my
countenance turned toward You.
“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.
