The
apostle Peter was so taken by what was happening on the Mountain of
Transfiguration he was willing to forget everything else and just camp there. Almost
perfect moments come along in life from time to time. While pursuing perfection is a laudable quest,
it is never a full reality in this life. Absolute perfection will come only at
the final manifestation of the Perfect One. We pursue it, admire it and
occasionally get a glimpse of it, only to eventually realize the truth; God is
perfect in all His ways, but nothing else or no one else in this world is perfect. Oh Lord, My Perfector, though I am but a wandering exile from true perfection, you
confront my shortcomings with mercy. I watchfully await the day of perfection
when we see You face to face and are forever transformed.
“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.
