Every life suffers losses, making
it far too convenient to dwell on sorrows. Gnawing sadness will invade the soul
of those who reside in the shadows of disappointments, but a cheerful heart has
a continual feast. A mere glimpse of the goodness of God melts away gloom and
doom. Hope springs eternal to those who praise the Almighty. Lord, I lift You
up, draw me nearer this day; You are the Crown of Life.
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.
