When guiding a child through a
delicate passage a father’s finger in a tiny fisted hand is sufficient.
Learning to trust the guidance, paying attention and holding on firmly are the
tasks at hand for the child. I thought these were lessons learned long ago, yet
today I will do the same. And so my Lord, when I need direction, intervene with
Your finger. When I am in danger make Your Voice heard. You are my guide, my
shield and comfort.
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.
