Betrayal and
treachery hurt the people affected by them, but in fact, it is a denial of God
Himself. To attempt to seize control through lies or disinformation is an
attempt to position one’s self as the sole proprietor of truth. Those who
engage in these things often believe they are doing God’s bidding. Father, keep
me bound to Your truth alone. Grant me grace to conduct myself accordingly.
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.
