I can
tell when I am being selfish, most of us can. One of my clear indicators is
exaggerated annoyance. When I am being humble, as I should, the foibles and
minor insults of others do not linger in my mind. When I am being selfish every
annoyance is amplified. Instead of letting them fade away as a mature person
should do, I take them personally and begin a running list. Once this has
started a web of annoyance is spun and I'm the one trapped in it until I come
to my senses. Father, You who are capable of all things, rid me of the sins of
pride and judgmentalism.
Grant me a greater portion of Your boundless patience.
“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.
