Sometimes
a lake can be so still everything above is nearly perfectly reflected upon it.
This is what God wants of me; I too, must be still and allow Him to be mirrored
upon my life. My issue? Ripples. What God sees of Himself in me is too often distorted
by every shifting wind. I must not allow passing circumstances to constantly
ruffle me. Rather, I must permit His abiding peace to calm my soul so His
majesty can be seen. This is my daily battle. Father, in Your peace I have
calmed myself and quieted my ambitions; I am content in Your care. Glorify
Yourself in me, make my whole life like still waters so Your greatness may be fully
reflected in me.
“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.
