I feel the the gentle, but firm hand of God nudging me into places I have not chosen, to do things beyond my capacity, to accomplish things beyond my reach. While this is not new, past experience does little toare relieve the fresh anxiety. Yet, I am not without recourse; I can praise Him who holds all things in His grasp. Father, You are great and greatly to be praised! Better now.
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.
