Emotions
may be stirred by many things but the soul cannot be awakened without divine
initiative. It is the spark of the Almighty that instigates deep searching or
gnawing spiritual hunger. A horse will not walk straight without a hand on the
reigns; I must never forget the constant need for God’s hand upon me. Lord of
Glory and All Wisdom, You stir my soul and steady my steps. I welcome for Your
divine intervention.
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.
