The
human mind is naturally governed by perceptions, needs, feelings, circumstances,
desires and fears. It is perfectly normal to be hostile to trusting in the
unseen. The concept of a sovereign, caring and attentive Shepherd of our souls
is appealing, but my mind, habits and heart must be trained to live under a new
order of life, giving first place to the Lordship and Authority of God.
Understanding the true situation is a critical first step: He is Lord; I am not.
He knows what I do not. So each day must begin with an early morning briefing
with the Supreme Commander-in-Chief. Lord of All…You first. I submit this day
to Your plans and cast my concerns before You. Lead me to the Rock that is
higher than I. It is well with my soul.
“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.
