During the darkest days of WWII,
as London suffered nightly bombings and rocket attacks, a sign was posted in
the bomb shelters: “Keep Calm and Carry On.” A powerful message that I too must
heed. Life goes on; the tea brewing as bombs fall. Come what may, I must not
panic nor ignore my mission. Lord, You are our only sure victory. Grant me calm
in the storm and courage to carry on.
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.
