Casting off into a strong tide is fraught with perils. Though open
waters beckon, the security of being tied to the dock is compelling. However, forward
progress always includes the risk of letting something go. Everything in this
world including death itself will eventually be “swallowed up in victory”.
Looking ahead to what God is unfolding in His eternal plan helps to ease the
pain of current losses. Recognition of the goodness and wisdom of God grants us
an unearthly peace as we look toward what is ahead. Lord, keep me from getting
uncorked when things change. I know that You work it all out for our good, even
when I cannot trace Your hand. Cut me free from fears of loss so that I may
embrace what is ahead.
“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.
