The
Rocky Mountain goat resembles a goat, but are actually not goats at all. These sure-footed climbers, often seen running full-speed on steep, icy cliffs are actually in the same
subspecies as antelopes and gazelles. They are born for the heights. God’s children also resemble every other human of this world, but we too, were bred for higher ground. While passing interests of
the lowlands come and go, something far greater is at work deep inside the
God-seeking heart. The Almighty Himself lays a foundation of desires that
please Him and draw us to the higher purposes for which He created us. As we
align our lives to follow His voice, these inward inclinations dissuade us from
wrong choices and guide us upward. The Light of God illuminates our path through
the darkness and dangers of this fallen world. Great Shepherd, You have bred
Your lambs for the mountaintop; Your Presence liberates Your children’s feet to
skip along the heights where others fear to tread.
“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.
