Every
good thing done by mankind is preceded by divine impulse; God is its origin. No
pride may be taken in a single righteous act since it can only be done under
His guidance and grace. I am still amazed at how easily I slip into pretentious
vainglory when sharing my
victories with others. Even while acknowledging God, somehow I still try to
find a way to take at least some credit. It is no wonder that I must die daily;
every vestige of self-exaltation being nailed to the tree. Righteous Lord,
annihilate my arrogance by the Cross, that I may humbly do good and rightly
give You all glory.
“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.
