The Master saw Nathanael
approaching and said of him, "Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is nothing
false." Nothing false, what an amazing endorsement! I long to be that kind
of person. Progress has most definitely been made, but still I struggle. Lord
of Light, take me to the next level. Whatever is false, whatever is impure,
whatever is disingenuous, exterminate from me now.
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.
