It is embarrassing to admit, but at times I have envied the arrogant.
Unbelievers and believers alike can completely surround their hearts with
self-focus and seemingly prosper free of the burdens of sacrifice and
servanthood. Then I enter the sanctuary of God’s Word and Presence and I am
undone and come to my senses. Shallow, happy feelings are no suitable
substitute for eternal joy; the temporal simply cannot compare to the eternal.
Losing focus on what truly matters drains away our sense of purpose and destiny.
Lord, forgive my bouts of momentary insanity. Your will and ways are the
fountain of divine life, and there is no other. In Your glorious Presence there is fullness of joy.
“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.
