“Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer,” Romans 12:12 ESV. This is such great counsel, especially during a national crisis. Our human response to upheaval is fear for the future, but our response as children of God should always be joyful hope, knowing that God is in control. These moments reveal who we really are and what we actually believe. The apostle Paul confided: “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose”. Romans 8:28 ESV. My response to a crisis reveals the depth of my love of God. This can be a painful discovery, but in the end, love will be deepened, and greater faith will rise from within. LORD, You are our hope and our salvation. Help me pay attention and not miss a thing as we pass through the fire. Give me the strength to help 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.
