Nothing
clears the mind of clutter quite like a conversation with a three-year-old.
They have genuine curiosity about so many things. There is no resisting the unrestrained
laughter, cute grammatical stumbles, unpretentious openness or clunky attempts
at philosophical and technical concepts. I cherish these conversations. God
must view mankind in this way at times since even our most sophisticated
attempts to communicate with Him must seem a bit silly. But He does not revile
our shortcomings. Instead, as the psalmist declared, He “delights in His people”.
Father in Heaven, thank You for Your patient care and forgive my outlandish
pretense. I am Your child, teach me Your ways and make me more like You.
“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.
