Once,
while I was driving along, an Irish Setter ran into the street from between two
parked cars. I didn’t see him quickly enough to avoid contact but I hit the
brakes hard and fast. I jumped out to check and he was under my van, alive but dazed.
When I reached toward him he snarled, crawled from underneath my van and ran
away. His refusal of help was not personal; he reacted from his pain and
confusion. People do the same. Father, forgive my snarling resistances to Your
loving touch. When others react to me as I do to You, grant me the same patient
mercy for them You extend to me.
“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.
