Snowflakes
are delicate and seemingly harmless as they float down to the ground, but
things are not always as they seem. Each year many lives are destroyed by the
heavy weight burden of accumulating snow, collapsing roofs and causing myriad of
other heavy snow accidents. In like manner, petty offenses, small annoyances
and little irritations also seem innocuous, but they stick together, building
up and becoming deadly for our souls, collapsing in on our lives like an
avalanche. Unforgiveness rarely begins as a single event; it creeps in slowly
and piles up. Our pathway to safety is to break the chain by closing each day
with forgiveness for others. Lord of Forgiveness and Mercy, cleanse my soul of
unforgiveness and fill me with Your love.
“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.
