“Then He went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbaths. And they were astonished at His teaching, for His word was with authority.” Luke 4:31-32. Never in history have so many words been spoken by so many people in so many languages. But volume and quantity are easily dismissed when one hears words spoken with authority. This is why our ears and hearts should remain attuned to God’s Word over all others and our own words cleansed and guided by His. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue and those who love it will eat its fruit” (Proverbs 18:21). Our lives become a point of life, blessing and enlightenment when our words are first soaked in God’s Word. LORD of Truth and Light, cleanse my heart and mind of words without meaning. Use my mouth as a fountain of blessing and truth.
“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.
