“Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy,” Proverbs 31:8-9 ESV. One of the most spiritual and holy things we can do as God’s children is to speak up for those who have little power and no voice. The charge to do so is not just a command, it is an invitation from our Heavenly Father to be more like Him and to do as He does. It is not enough to hope a government entity, or some other institution will act righteously, we must each lead the way by doing our personal part. This is not about winning God’s favor, it is about living out our faith in sincere thankfulness for His blessings. Open hands, open heart, as the blessings go through there is plenty for you! It is about living to give, living to bless, and living to lift. LORD, grant me the courage to speak up and to do my part.
“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.
