It is incredibly comforting to know that I live in the firm
grasp of God; His grip on me is much firmer than my grip on Him. His Word
clutches the strings of my heart, His Will clings to my own, I cannot simply
pull way. At times I struggle
against His embrace, only to be pulled tighter by His Holy Hand. Father, You
are the The Lord my Keeper, thank You for Your encircling Love. Your
love has no limits, Your kindness has no measure.
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.
