Today I can choose. I can choose whom
and how I will serve. I can surrender to things that alarm or seem
unchangeable; I can resent, despair or obsess. Then again, I can put each
moment, each thing, each person into the nail-scarred Hands. I can declare that
God is great and greatly to be praised. Lord God Almighty, Giver of Choice,
thank You that today I CAN choose.
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.
