Life
often seems like a rugby scrum. While I know full well that God is always
present and that all His ways are loving and faithful, still I strive. Each
time I feel like complaining, I must remember that there is a much more
powerful option; I can glorify God in my distress. I can shout for joy, giving
grateful praise to Him who is ever faithful. Lord, You are my Keeper; Your
presence sustains me.
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.
