Ospreys
and Pelicans feed from the water near our home. The Osprey, a hawk that is as
big and beautiful as an eagle hovers, swoops, and delicately plucks a fish with
his talons, gracefully flying away. The pelican, an even larger bird pauses,
then drops like a rock, headfirst, full speed and mouth opening as it hits the
water. Sitting on the water like a dazed boxer on the canvas, he spits out
water and swallows the fish. Both the osprey and the pelican feast at the same
table, one with graceful poise and the other with seemingly clumsy grit. Lord,
thank You for my daily bread by whatever means You provide. I am genuinely grateful
for Your constant care.
“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.
