Since divine correction and instruction are the way to true life, God
places learning stations throughout each new day. My tendency is to brush past
each lesson too quickly, confident of what I think I know. But God’s goodness
wins out, and despite my attempts to move on, I find myself back at the same
learning stations again and again. There is no graduation from this school while
on earth, only when I see Him will I be like Him. Rolling stops will not do, so
I must learn to come to a full stop at each station. Dearest Father, thank You
for Your persistent tutelage
and unending patience. I do not resent Your relentless work in me. Grant me grace to finish
my course in victory.
“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.
