Does God tire of my many failings? Will He turn in disgust from my constant troubles, doubts or fears? With human love it is possible, but not with God’s love. Narakatsi declares in prayerful praise a deeper understanding of how God remains our steadfast redeemer: “Through the blessed wood of life, upon which you were bound”. The LORD binds Himself to that which binds us. He bound Himself to our transgressions, iniquities and brokenness. In speaking of divine love Crysostom noted: “these thus bound by love bear all things with ease”. O LORD my Rescuer and Deliverer, You are bound TO Your love, I am blissfully bound IN Your love!
“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.
