The forgiveness of God is undiminished by my constant downfalls; He is forbearing and compassionate beyond description. While I am duty bound to obey His will, more importantly, I want to do so, being inspired to try harder by His enduring mercies. My unruliness is being overcome by His unrelenting goodness. Oh sweet Lord, You lack nothing, yet patiently provide for our daily need.
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.
