What looks like a life-ending boulder
tumbling and rumbling down the mountain toward me is no more than a harmless
granule of sand to the Lord Almighty. What looks like a measly kernel of corn
to me is in God’s eyes a never-ending supply of harvest after harvest after
harvest. It is abundantly clear, I must face life with God’s perspective and
not my own. Father, what is heavy for me is light as a feather for You and what
is beyond my reach is centered in the palm of Your mighty hand. Open the eyes
of my understanding to see the greatness of Your power and the depth of Your
unending love.
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.
