In
everyone’s life story there are defining moments when someone impacts your life
with a listening ear, an act of kindness or generosity, an offered prayer, a
word of encouragement or needed guidance. How many opportunities to be the face
and hand of God to someone do I squander? Divinely appointed moments rarely
occur in our spare time, but unfortunately, I often rush past these opportunities
to do something seemingly necessary. This is the daily test, to allow God to determine
what is truly important in each instance. Almighty Lord, You never rush by a
need. You never brush off my silent pain. Please forgive my audacity and help
me turn aside to do Your bidding. By Your grace, may I never miss a thing.
“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.
