Wisdom cries out all around, but I often rush on by. Even in moments of roiling, surging turmoil, God speaks.
The rewards of listening are many; The storm itself may be calmed by wisely spoken words. There are
no reliable substitutes for an ear open to God’s voice. Lord, You know my ways.
Far too often I steam ahead without sufficient regard to you promptings.
Forgive me and teach me to listen carefully every moment.
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.
