A few years ago, an elder brother pulled me aside after a church service to encourage me. This was not some garden-variety flattery; he obviously planned it and presented clear, precise, well-thought-out points. I still remember the power of the thoughtful and kind gift he gave me that day. I have received many gifts over a lifetime, however most are long gone. But not that gift, it is still with me and remains treasured. Yet, this is a present I can re-gift to others time and time again, and so I do. Today, I will again have fresh opportunities to promote, encourage, lift, love, appreciate and celebrate others. Lord, in Your Goodness, endow me with authentic love and make me a endless source of blessing to those around me.
“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.
