I must keep in
mind that whatever is beyond my reach was put there by God. In some cases
things are just beyond touch to urge me forward, in others, the extra distance
is for my protection. Ultimately, the One who places things beyond my grasp can
just as easily drop them in my lap if it accomplishes His will. Blessed Lord, I
trust Your ways, knowing that what is inaccessible for me is firmly in Your
grip.
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.
