Walking is
simply a series of steps. Each stride distances me from something behind and
propels me toward what is ahead. Giant ones, tiny ones, fast ones, slow ones,
intense ones, easy ones; each step matters, with each step progress is made.
The walk of faith is no different; one foot in front of the other. Lord, help
me keep each footstep firmly centered in Your will. Even if I should stumble I
am safe, knowing I am still in Your capable hands. You go before me and You are
my rearguard. No step I take is outside of Your superintendence.
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.
