My
first Big Apple deli experience with its huge menu on the wall and an impatient
worker demanding an immediate decision made me want to head for the exit. New
York City is intimidating for the rookie; tall buildings, scampering
pedestrians, honking taxies, constant noise, and glitzy stores combine to
overwhelm the uninitiated. To take hold of the Kingdom can feel the same. Holy
things can seem unreachable, too high or too much for me, but that is never
true. High and Lofty One, the wholly unapproachable becomes fully embraceable
because of Your redeeming mercy. Lord, I am amazed by 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.
