At the
beginning of a race, some may get a better start than others, but a good start
is not a guarantee of anything. In the final analysis, a good finish is the key
to victory. As my father died of a heart attack, he held my mother in an
embrace of love. As my stepdad finished his battle with lung cancer, he was
leading both doctors and nurses to faith. As my spiritual father died he was
still writing a book. There is never a loss for those who finish their course
well, only a welcoming Savior declaring “Well done!” Blessed Lord, give me
strength to finish well. Keep me in the race until you are finished with me on
this side of the veil. By your grace and strength, I will finish victorious.
“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.
