A stroll on a sandy beach
provides hidden treasures placed there by the creative forethought of God. The
ebb and flow of tides opens the treasury of the seas. God sees to it that each
day, no matter when or where offers the same: hidden treasures. The angels had
it so right: "Glory to God in the Highest, Peace on earth, good will toward men." Lord
of Wonders, teach me to pay attention each and every day.
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.
