Over a
lifetime, my collection of memories has become way over-crowded. Like a worker
in an old china shop I search through the shelves of my mind stacked floor to
ceiling. An unexpected benefit is that there is little room for yesterday’s
petty disappointments. Things that I would have previously dragged along simply
slip away into the Sea of Forgetfulness. An unforeseen godsend of spiritual maturity
is an increased power to truly forgive and forget. Lord, thank You that I have
a fresh new day and for the disappearing negative memories that could have cast
shadows on today’s hope.
“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.
