One of
the best pets that have been a part of our family was a handsome Pekinese named
Chewy. He was smart and well behaved, with one huge exception, he loved to sneak away from the safety of our home and explore the neighborhood. One day he escaped
and never returned. While I have matured over the years, I too, must be fenced
in, requiring daily supervision and assistance from the Master. My wandering
heart will stray into perilous terrain if not fenced in. Only God can safely
guard my steps, only He will release my feet from the snare. Lord of Love, I am
humbled and filled with gratitude that You faithfully and lovingly chase me
down and fence me in. You discipline those You love.
“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.
