“Early will I seek You;” sound advice from a shepherd. No
doubt, every day quickly filled with bleating sheep, constant demands. Why
delay? Like a road trip, starting late means additional traffic. Meditations of
the Master do not belong bumper to bumper on a crowded freeway, cares of this
world cutting into holy space. No, God first, that’s it. Other thoughts can
wait, must wait. Oh God, early will I seek You.
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.
