Every
person needs comforting from time to time. One of the godliest things we can do
is to bring comfort to others in their time of need. On the other hand, seeking
to comfort myself almost always leads to disaster. Most sin is rooted in
attempts to self-medicate. King David’s moral failure with Bathsheba happened
as he created a comfort zone in his palace “At the time of war,” when, in fact,
he belonged on the battlefield. While a bit of comfort offers relief, too much
mental meandering leads to wrong places. Blessed Lord, My Eternal Comforter,
help me to abide in Your divine comfort. Deliver me from selfish sidetracking
and keep me on task
“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.
