The temptation to simply drift along a lazy river of
complacency is persuasive. The volume of life’s complications can cause us to
disengage from active pursuit of the will of God. Past disappointments pile up,
the desire to take risks smothered by the volume of decisions and divine
purpose becomes a mere shadow. Father in Heaven, awaken my heart with daily
passion for Your will. Make me, mold me, fill me, use me.
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.
