Each new
daybreak brings me closer to an unveiled look into the face of my Creator and
Redeemer. The very thought of it
brings forth both excitement and trepidation. It brings comfort to know that He
Himself is preparing me for that moment. Then again, I know the actions and
attitudes of my heart do not rise to His perfection. My constant lawlessness
prevents me from even one deserved favor, yet I am absolutely assured of His
limitless loving kindness. Father, once more I remember, only by Your grace and
mercy do I stand.
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.
