I begin this day in earnest thankfulness for those who have helped shape my life. Biblical characters, historic figures, family, friends, spiritual parents, prayer warriors, pastors, co-workers, authors, teachers and many others have been used by the Master Craftsman to form me. I’ve had some who intended to cause me harm as well. But frankly, my detractors, accusers, betrayers and openly antagonistic enemies have also played an important role in my formation, and I am equally grateful to them for pushing me down paths I would have not taken otherwise. Lord, I earnestly thank You for each and every person You have utilized to forge me into a man of Your own making. May I also be a quality tool in Your hand useful for shaping others.
“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.
