God openly invites us into His
secret chambers. Nonchalant pride should never characterize my approach to the
Holy and Mighty One. Carelessness is an uninvited companion that sometimes
accompanies my intimacy with God. Lord, forgive my presumptuousness. May I
never abuse Your Goodness by an inappropriate sense of entitlement. High and
Lofty One, You are Glorious.
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.
