We live in a townhome community where everything is
very neat and uniform. It pretty much looks the same most of the time, except
on trash day. Even then, we each have exactly the same huge garbage and
recycling bins which are designed to be emptied by an automated refuse system.
It all seems so tidy, but let’s face it, inside those bins is garbage. They
stand at attention, symmetrically spaced, lids closed, but no matter how we
dress it up, life is messy. Glorious Father, forgive my attempts to hide my
rubbish. My wrongdoing knows far too few limits, yet You do not turn away in
disgust. Instead, you deal with the garbage while cleaning the container. Lord,
cleanse me afresh.
“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.
