Striving to
enter rest is the daily conundrum of the soul. It seems that most of my energy
is exhausted in resistance, only to find rest in abandon. What sweet
whisperings await the relinquished heart! Lord, arrest me body, soul and
spirit. Teach me to succumb to Your promptings BEFORE running headlong into
walls. Constrain me to “Come Unto” before I ”Go Therefore.” At Your feet is the
better part.
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.
