Extension
of the Kingdom of God in me and through me to others must not be an
afterthought; spiritual progress cannot be accomplished with life’s leftovers. In
the absence of frontsliding there is only backsliding. Scripture proclaims:
“the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold
of it.” Every day matters, and how intentionally I approach it will affect its
outcome. Lord, help me lay hold of that which You have proclaimed. Rattle my
cage until at last I run to You first and always. Provoke me to advance each
and every day.
“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.
