“For the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power,” I Corinthians 4:20 ESV. There is no shortage of words among believers, but there is often a shortage of power. It’s not that God’s power is not present; it’s just that we are often not plugged into it. The apartment we live in has multiple power plugs in every room, but we must actually plug into the power source to benefit from it. The same is true of spiritual power. There is plenty available, but I must first unplug from other sources and plug into God’s Word and Spirit. I must unplug from lesser pursuits and plug into His Will and Ways. “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him,” Acts 10:38 ESV. LORD, help me plug fully into Your power today as I walk before You.
“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.
