There
is no substitute for the supremacy of Christ. He alone must be enthroned in my
heart. Most of my troubles are rooted in my own stubborn attempts to pull away
from His dominion over the length and breadth of my life. Until all that is
mine is conceded, all that is His will elude me. Tidbits of knowledge will not
due. Sprinkles of heaven will not suffice when showers are needed, so I must
put away every vestige of childish attitudes and behaviors. Oh God my King, I
acknowledge Your lordship, help me to relinquish every portion of my life to
You. Grant me grace to knuckle under to Your Fatherly discipline and
instruction.
“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.
