Discretion is a precious gift from God. If I ignore its
protection I suffer the consequences. Time spent with thoughtful people
increases my discernment and guards me from inappropriate recklessness. Good
judgment does not lock us away from the world around us, but empowers us to
walk safely among all. Giver of All Wisdom, grant me foresight and good sense
today.
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.
