I love
tropical islands. Their sandy beaches, beautiful views, laid back feel and
tropical foliage combine to warm the heart and free the mind. During World War
2 the Pacific Islands were as beautiful as ever, but it was a false paradise.
Carnage and destruction were everywhere on and around those islands. From
Hawaii to the Philippines and beyond, millions perished. Things are not always
as they seem. I travel a lot and see thousands of people passing by. Most seem fine on the surface, but just like those islands, carnage and destruction is often
hidden behind those passing faces. But for the surrendered heart, God offers
peace in every storm and through life’s most difficult battles. LORD of Glory
and Might, in Your presence there is paradise divine.
“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.
