Coveting
is a pernicious and deceptive sin. It may begin as innocent attraction,
interest or admiration but it leads to destruction. Covetousness is rejection
of God’s divine care and leads us to believe no desire should ever be denied, no
matter how selfish. A covetous heart cannot love purely. Thankfulness on the
other hand leads us to the light. A grateful heart opens the way to unlimited
peace and inexhaustible love since it focuses on the Provider, not the
perceived provision. O Lord My Shepherd, cleanse my heart from earthly
entanglements. Grant me true love for You and others.
“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.
