Even after so many years of mistakes, failures and God’s patient
dealings with me, far too much human pride still remains within. While
increasingly pushed out of the spotlight, it still stubbornly skulks around in
the shadows, giving way only in forced increments. Though sometimes diagnosed
and stopped before popping out in words or actions, far too often, it leaps
back on center-stage in full-blossom. Frankly, it is both surprising and
embarrassing that it still remains in such quantity. I am grateful that God’s
Goodness will not leave me in this unreliable state. Thank You Father, Son and
Holy Spirit for Your holy work of deliverance from swaggering pretentiousness.
Blessed riddance. I must decrease, You must increase.
“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.
