Thought For Today - January 2
Beginning our Journey Through The New Year!
By: Robert A. Searles
Anyone
who is planning to go on a journey is very wise if he or she makes
preparation in advance. If he or she is going to be traveling by
automobile, one is smart if he has his engine tuned up and the oil
changed, and the fuel tank full. A prudent person will know where he
is going, and how he is going to get there. He will have acquired road
maps, and will have studied them diligently.
So
it is with our journey through life, every new day we strike out on a
new adventure, not knowing what a day will bring forth. The sad thing
with some of us is that when it comes to our daily trip through the
activities and duties of each new day, we have failed to make adequate
preparations.
We
who know the Lord Jesus Christ as our savior, need not venture out
blindly into a wicked hostile world without being fortified and
strengthened for our journey. We have an open door to God our Father,
who, if we ask anything in the name of his son, will deny us nothing
that is good for us. Before we begin our day, we can rise up a great
while before day and find a solitary place and get alone with God and
pray, even as Jesus himself was known to do
“And
in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out and
departed into a solitary place , and there prayed.” Mark 1:35
If
this was necessary for the very divine son of God to do, how much more
is it necessary for us to start our day? How can we know the direction
we should travel if we do not seek the guidance of one who knows?
“Cause
me to hear thy loving kindness in the morning, for in thee do I trust,
cause me to know the way wherein I should walk, for I lift up my soul
unto thee. Deliver me, O Lord from mine enemies, I flee unto thee to
hide me, teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God, thy spirit is
good. Lead me into the land of uprightness.” Psalm 143: 8-10
