As a young boy growing up near the ocean, one of my delights was to walk
in other people's footsteps imprinted in the sand. But every person’s stride and pace
is understandably different. At some point in life we must each give up the
childhood game of attempting to walk in someone else’s footprints. It does me
no good to compare my steps with those of others. I must fulfill God’s
appointed destiny and trust that His path for me is the very best one. In the
final analysis each stride taken in pursuit of His will, no matter the size, is
a step forward. Dearest Father, You have promised guided steps for those
seeking You and I believe it. May every footstep I take this day lead me deeper
into Your will. Lead me to Your highest and best.
“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.
