I live
in a moment-by-moment spiritual battle. I wish I could say it was solely a
five-star, gallant fight against dark forces in high places, but frankly, it feels
much less noble than that. While it is, in fact, a spiritual battle of the
highest importance, mostly my battles are within and fiercely waged against my
own self-centeredness, self-indulgence and self-interests. Though I am
sincerely God’s servant, and have long ago pledged my allegiance to King of
Kings, the enemy’s minions are always insidiously present, lurking within the
shadows, targeting my weakness. Shepherd of My Soul, My LORD and Commander, thank
You for sending relentless conviction and unending mercy; by Your unlimited grace
and constant help, final victory is assured.
“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.
