While
on a morning walk I scanned the bright blue sky above and counted over thirty
contrails slicing across the azure canopy. The wispy white streaks silently
announce the passing of high-flying planes filled with passengers and cargo. I
would have missed it all if I not looked up. How much in life do I miss for
failure to follow King David’s example: “I lift up my Eyes to the heavens.”
Lord of Glory, You continually act within the heavenlies to enforce Your will
in the earth whether I notice or not. Help me to keep my countenance turned
toward You. To You I lift up my eyes.
“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.
