Doing the right thing is never done in a vacuum; there
are always other things pulling on us in that moment. Personal interests must
be conceded each time good is chosen over evil. The confusing fog of
self-justification can be an amazingly powerful elixir, but the love walk sobers
us faster than a dip in an icy spring. Letting love be our guide not only
makes good choices desirable, walking in love makes doing the right thing
consistently achievable. Failures remind me I am still a rookie, but I am
confident God will finish His work in me. Loving Father, Your love never fails.
Dispel the darkness of self-centeredness and fortify me with Your Word of Grace.
“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.
