I often fail to appreciate
the full value of the gift of another day. Over-thinking past or future events diminishes this day.
There is divine rhythm, a holy mystery in each moment that is easily missed.
Only sensitivity to the Spirit of God can unlock the constantly present
treasury of wisdom, insight, power and comfort. Blessed Father, settle me down.
Grant me entrance to Your secret place in each instant, day by 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.
Amen.
