Joshua
challenged the Hebrews to decide their future: “Choose this day whom you will
serve.” A made-up mind should not be confused with a closed mind or stubborn
pride. Firm decisions should be rooted in moral clarity that comes from God’s
influence on our decision-making process. The most crucial step is to accept
that God is in charge, so the only right choice is His choice. The choice to
obey is powerful. A “powerful choice” is a “power-filled choice”. Once a
rightly formed decision is made, it releases the power to adjust to anything
that comes along, while simultaneously initiating transformation of everything
that must be changed. LORD, I choose to obey Your will, open wide the floodgates
of grace and wisdom that I may faithfully and accurately serve You.
“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.
