Divine
purpose, unique opportunities, spiritual enablements and natural abilities are just
some of the gifts God sprinkles along the path for each of us. However, unless
practiced in genuine love for God and the people He loves, the exercise of
these heavenly endowments can degrade into prideful showmanship, judgmental
arrogance or disorderly conduct. I slip into an attitude of self-importance far
too easily, so I must carefully practice these divine endowments with the
humbleness they require. Dearest Lord, forgive my misuse of bestowed giftings.
Deliver me from the need to claim ownership of the right to exercise them and
help me practice them with kindness and humility.
“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.
