“I will climb up to my watchtower and stand at my guardpost. There I will wait to see what the LORD says and how he will answer my complaint,” Habakkuk 2:1 NLT. There is a great outline for walking with God in this verse. First, we must “climb up”. We must determine to rise above the daily grind to seek God. Secondly, there is a prepared place in His Presence where only His children can stand before Him. “For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle" Psalm 27:4 ESV and “In distress, you called, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place,” Psalm 81:7 ESV. We must take our stand in faith and will see God’s answer. “Now, therefore, stand still and see this great thing that the Lord will do before your eyes,” I Samuel 12:16 ESV. So today I will climb to the “secret place”. There, I will take my stand to hear His Voice and see my Deliverance.
“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.
