How
high must I climb to be healed? How wide is the chasm between my transgressions
and God’s forgiveness? What distance must I traverse to ascend to the heights
of heaven’s treasures? The rewards of each of these quests appear far away,
however, they are much closer than we can humanly conceive. The ascent to my
healing is merely the length from pierced feet to a crown of thorns. The
journey from my sin to redemption is only the distance between a nail in each of
my Savior’s hands. The first step is as close as a drop to my knees. Holy
Redeemer, my mind struggles with the simplicity of Your grace. Blessed
Redeemer, grant me childlike humility to believe what You have accomplished
without equivocation or dispute.
“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.
