“I know that you can do all things and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted,” Job 42:2 ESV. After Satan had robbed Job of his blessings, he questioned God’s authority and goodness. But in the end, he came to his senses. I do not need to experience Job’s journey to come to his final conclusion. I too can understand and confess the sovereignty, power, and goodness of The Almighty. I too can trust The LORD God no matter what comes. My confession can be that of King David’s: “For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will lift me high upon a rock,” Psalm 27:5 ESV. I need not fear the future, “for God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble,” Psalm 46:1 ESV. LORD, deliver me from the foolishness of worry and self-dependence. Help me place my trust in YOU alone.
“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.
