The
construction of highways through mountains has always intrigued me. Millions of
tons of rock must be repositioned, much of it with explosives. A violent
process produces a safe and peaceful journey for subsequent travelers. Only
God’s Word can construct a highway through the mountains of confusion we face
in this life. Lord, only You offer a thruway of truth and guidance through
worldly obstructions.
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.
