There is an unexplainable freedom in the painful discovery
that nothing in this life is permanent. The human soul, created to live in
eternal covenant, longs to find it. So much so that we ignore the temporariness
of this world, pretending earthly things are more transcendent than they can
possibly be. Eternal Father, You alone are boundless. You have set eternity in
our hearts that we may rightly measure this 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.
