The
pain of great loss is bitter, but even more so when accompanied by betrayal.
Whether in lofty halls of power or the steaming jungles of a rain forest, every
human heart is tested by these flaming arrows. It is impossible to construct a
barrier against the probability of a broken heart. Though avoidance is
impossible, there is a pathway out of agony. While others are distanced by our
deep sorrows, “the Lord is near to the brokenhearted.” O Lord Our Helper, You
comfort our hearts and drive our grief far away. You reassure us in our pain,
wipe away our tears and turn our sorrows into dancing.
“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.
