“Whatever
my lot, Thou has taught me to say, it is well, it is well with my soul”; poignant
words penned by Horatio Spafford as his ship passed where his four daughters
died in a tragic shipwreck just days before. “It is well” are words spoken to
the prophet by the Shunamite woman, erstwhile her child laid dead at her home.
No one can declare such things while mired in earthly obsessions. These are
divinely inspired words, spiritually informed words; faith infused words spoken
from consecrated hearts. My Lord Almighty, Healer of the Broken Hearted, may my
lips bear witness to Your Glory and Power.
“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.
