The
Osprey, a hawk as big and beautiful as an eagle hovers, swoops, and delicately
plucks a fish with his talons, gracefully flying away. The pelican, an even
larger bird pauses, drops like a rock, headfirst, full speed and mouth
opening as it hits the water. Sitting on the water like a dazed boxer on the
canvas, he spits out water and swallows the fish. Both the osprey and the
pelican feast at the same table, one with graceful poise and the other with
seemingly clumsy grit. Lord, thank You for my daily bread by whatever means You
provide. I am genuinely grateful for Your constant care.
“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.
