Politeness
is a sign of maturity and respect, but there is no such thing as polite
disobedience. Jesus said: “If you love me keep my commandments”. When it is in my
power to act on God’s directives and I choose to delay, then I am rightly
held accountable. It is very simple really, we promptly obey the one we love
the most. The test of love is not so much the size of our response as much as
it is the speed of our action. Unrequited love is painful to the human heart,
how selfish it is to inconsiderately grieve God by resisting His will. We must
hear and promptly obey. That’s it. Father, You deserve my immediate and surrender
and obedience. Forgive me and deliver me from my defiant delays.
“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.
