Like
most people, I don’t like being taken for granted, but to be completely honest,
I take things for granted all the time. Little things, big things, actually, almost
anything; these are the objects of my undeserved presumptions. It is
embarrassing how quickly our ego can turn an unearned privilege into an
absolute right! How sad and foolish. A thankful heart is the key to freedom
from taking things for granted. Worship and praise is a sure path to deliverance
from ungratefulness. Lord, I am awakened for a moment from the dulling power of
pridefulness. From my heart I sincerely praise you for…well, everything. Help
me to recognize Your constant provision and to be genuinely and continually
thankful.
“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.
