I replaced an old pair of shoes
recently. Strangely, though they lost their maximum contribution to my life
long ago, there was a last minute moment of indecision. I sometimes have a
difficult time letting things go. Not so as we stand at the precipice of a new
year. No, I am ready to turn this page; there is no hesitation to step forward.
Eternal Father, you have this moment in Your grasp; happily I press 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.
