I
enjoy problem solving, but have learned that doing it on my own is not always the
best way. For instance, I've begun work on many projects around the house
without initially understanding what was needed to finish. Multiple trips to
the hardware store is often the result. However, when I know everything I need
before beginning by consulting sources of help, the work is much easier and the
job is done right the first time. Doing the homework before starting makes all
the difference. Spiritual work is the same. I can stumble my way through for
lack of preparation, or I can first consult with the Master Craftsman through
His Word, listen for His instruction in prayer and seek His counsel through
trusted spiritual mentors. Problem solved. Father, You always have the right
tools, materials and sequence. Teach me Your ways and lead me by Your perfect wisdom.
“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.
