To openly live
a life of faith is not a proclamation of personal perfection. Actually, the
opposite is true; my imperfections become the stage upon which the amazing
grace and relentless love of God are displayed. In my weaknesses, His awesome
strength is discovered and brought to the forefront. My brokenness spotlights
God’s Mercy. The Love of God is drawn to the needy as surely as a mother to her
child’s cry. Lord, You are my Fortress and Deliverer, reveal Yourself in me.
May my failings spotlight Your exquisiteness.
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.
