Whether
physical or emotional, pain has a unique way of capturing our attention. Life
without some level of agony seems impossible in this world, but I must not
allow affliction of any sort to have more than momentary notice or it will soon
sequester everything around it. God has provided multiple pathways for freedom
from prolonged sorrow. Giving, serving, praising, comforting others or any act
of selfless love releases abiding gladness and turns our mourning to dancing.
Lord, I earnestly believe Your words: “those who sow in tears will reap with
songs of joy”. In my most difficult moments I will praise You, for my harvest
is on the way. Turn my pain into power to praise You all the more!
“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.
