God’s viewpoint
on what is important is quite different than our own. Things I considered
enormous issues have turned out to be insubstantial. On the other hand,
behaviors or attitudes I thought hardly worth mentioning have become His
constant target. Such is the process of spiritual growth; it cannot be
accomplished without heavenly directives. Lord, I am wholly dependent upon Your
holy meddlings.
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.
