Tidal waters have always
fascinated me; they are constantly rising higher or diminishing. So it is with
everything in life. As one friendship strengthens, another dwindles. Youthful
growth turns into retreating health. Treasured things deteriorate and
unimagined new things emerge. Foolishness shrinks away and wisdom takes its
place. Father Above, You are the Eternal Constant and that with every loss You
provide a tidal deposit as a parting gift.
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.
