The simple
phrase “by faith” opens a universe of understanding and divine power. By faith,
I confidently approach the Throne of Grace. By faith, I can love others without
terror. By faith, I can march through the Valley of the Shadow of Death. By
faith, my heart is filled with the abundance of the unseen. Lord of Faith and
Goodness, Your Promises grant me uncluttered assurance; point me in Your way.
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.
