There is no redo button for the past. Each new day is a brand new opportunity to refine the art of recovery. Yesterday’s mistakes are transformed by today’s commitment to the Cross and it’s redeeming power. Each setback offers opportunity to renounce self-reliance. Holy Redeemer, I offer no excuses, only admission and abandon to Your holy work in me today. I repose beside still waters.
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.
