Standing at the edge of the sea offers many joys; calm, angry, or in between, its beauty and girth touches my soul. Caressing waves lap the feet, a steady chorus of sounds soothe the mind, sand between the toes, wind on the face, warm sun, wonderful creatures. O Lord My God when I in awesome wonder, consider all the worlds Thy hand hath made. Majestic Father and Creator, I adore Your handiwork.
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.
