Begin the new day seeking the Lord’s Presence through prayer and communing with the wonderful beauty of the morning stillness around you. As you come into His Presence; know that He already has your day planned out; with new experiences that continue to shape your life; and that He is ready to reveal to you the mystery of His hidden treasures of life…Wisdom and Knowledge; which will lead you to finding Him during the day…Right beside you.
Isaiah 33:6–In that day he will be your sure foundation, providing a rich store of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of the Lord will be your treasure.
Some of those experiences are trials; hidden treasures designed to further refine your spirit and soul; and make your Christian walk with the Lord stronger.
Colossians 2:2-3–Paul wrote : “I want them to be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love. I want them to have complete confidence that they understand God’s mysterious plan, which is Christ himself. In Him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”
Remember, He doesn’t make any of your trials so bad that they are unbearable. He always gives you a way out of your predicament. That way out may not be obvious at first; but that is the purpose of the trial; to draw you closer to Him for the real solutions to the issues in your life.
1 Corinthians 10:13–The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.
Other experiences are blessings that are testament to the fact that He loves you and has given you a wonderful creation to live in. The beauty of His creation of the world around you gives constant proof of His Presence; and that He hasn’t given up on the world; even though it is constantly in a broken and fallen state.
Colossians 2:2-3–Paul wrote : “I want them to be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love. I want them to have complete confidence that they understand God’s mysterious plan, which is Christ himself. In Him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”
So make it a priority to keep your eyes open for the signs of the Lord’s Presence –they are all around you — subtle hints from His Holy Spirit that guide your actions during the day.
My Prayer For This Day:
Lord, thank You for this day which you have made for me; full of your love for me and full of His hidden treasures for me to find. Even though I live in a broken world; I know you have not given up on it; and that it is still a wonderful example of your power over all things in your creation. Lord, help me find the wonders of this day; so that I can experience the loving wisdom of your Spirit.
