I like really BIG things. I'm not sure why huge objects are so attractive to the human soul. Oceans, glaciers, mountains, elephants, crowds, overstuffed chairs, super-sized football players. I also like very small things. They evoke interest, draw my attention, call for careful handling. God is, at once, very big and very small. Almighty God, You are awesome in ALL You do; teach me Your ways o Lord.
A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.
