The pursuit of
the Perfect One while still bound by the imperfection of this life is our daily
struggle. Like Lazarus, we are made alive inwardly by the mighty words of our
Savior: “come forth”. The struggle
to be free from the linens of death with which we were bound can only be
accomplished in the same manner. Lord, help me to receive true freedom. Incline
my heart to Your Word throughout this day.
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.
