Annoyances
constantly bombard my soul. Thankfully, they don’t seem to stick around as much
as they used to, but I must not allow resentment to settle in my heart. Like
water secretly eating away the ground underneath a foundation, irritations
undermine the bedrock of joy that should characterize a believer’s life.
Gratitude and praise are powerful weapons against the subtle entry of
unhappiness. Heavenly Father, I know that I annoy You. Like the people of
Israel in the wilderness, I too forget the amazing deliverance from slavery You
have granted. Forgive my brazen self-centeredness.
“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.
