We desire to
exert influence on the world around us precisely because God created us to do
so. Deep within our soul lies the imprint of God’s commanded purpose for
mankind: be fruitful, increase, multiply, rule, fill the earth. Salvation only
intensifies this innate longing. Redeemer of All Nations, thank You for creating
me with Your purposes. Show me how to live Your love for the world out loud.
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.
