I live in a moment-by-moment spiritual battle. I wish I could say it was solely a five-star, gallant
fight against dark forces in high places, but frankly, it is much less noble
than that. While it is, in fact, a spiritual battle, mostly it is a constant
internal resistance of self-centeredness, self-indulgence and self-interest.
Though I am sincerely God’s servant, the enemy’s minions are always insidiously
present, lurking within the shadows, pulling at me. Shepherd of My Soul, thank
You for sending relentless conviction and unending Mercy; by Your Grace and
constant help, final victory is assured.
“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.
