I am far more
familiar with the “Valley of the Shadow of Death” than the “Mountain of
Transfiguration”. Apprehension is the constant companion of faith; each step
forward is a repudiation of doubt. Ultimately we must learn that faith does not
rely upon circumstances and that its fullness is often developed in the
darkroom. Lord, take my hand as I step through the shadows, in You do I put my
trust.
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.
