The forgiveness
of God is undiminished by my constant downfalls; He is forbearing and
compassionate beyond description and His love endures forever. While I am duty
bound to obey His will, more importantly, I want to do so, being inspired to
try harder by His enduring mercies. My constant unruliness is being overcome by
His unrelenting goodness. Oh sweet Lord, You lack nothing, yet patiently
provide for our daily need. With Your help I can do Your will, for everything
is in You, everything is from You and everything is done by You.
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.
