A seasonal shift brings subtle changes
that are almost unperceivable at first, then, over time more obvious signs
emerge. I love how God works in both nature and in me. There is always
something afoot, new seasons arrive unannounced. Grace for where I have trod
recedes, grace for what is next appears. Lord of All Creation, acclimate my
heart to what approaches. Grant me a new measure of grace; more of You in me, much,
much more please.
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.
