King David
mused: “If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.” God is always present
whether we invoke, acknowledge, welcome, believe-in or desire His Presence or
not. I am not entirely comfortable with this since I don’t always want it,
preferring at times to turn away in pursuit of my selfish desires. How sad, the
proximity of the Almighty is a promise, not a threat. He continually transforms
me into His image and nudges me deeper into my divine purpose. Father, forgive
me for my moments of insane resistance and draw me to the sweetness of simple
obedience. Help me to never ignore the potential of Your Manifest Presence. Tear
away callousness and revive my heart with ever-deepening passion
for You.
“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.
