We live in an angry nation and it
seems to be worsening. Anger comes far too easily for me, a lifelong malady. Deep
rage and bitterness have long since been expunged, but mild to spicy anger
still arises regularly. Far too much is damaged in my relationship with God to
cling to anger or unforgiveness. Lord, deliver me from selfish entitlement and
grant to me humble kindness to others at all times.
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.
