I once was startled awake from a
dream where I was in a moment of unbridled arrogance. It was ugly and shameful.
I find it quite unsettling to think that pride is still so resident in my soul
that it finds ways to circumvent my conscious intent to squelch it, even by
manifesting while I sleep. Hubris fights dirty and is determined to rule our
lives. Pride is a perilous, ugly, irrational and inappropriate emotion. For me,
it usually starts popping up when I am feeling insecure, ignored or threatened.
At this stage of spiritual growth there should be little or none left, but
arrogance clings to the soul with a vise grip. Lord God, forgive my insolence.
A heart open before You must be devoid of arrogance. Help me fully embrace Your
divine humility Blessed Father.
“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.
