How God must love the world! It
is a canvas onto which He dips His finger daily, painting and repainting backdrops
for every forthcoming scene. It is a stage He has set and invited everyone to
behold. He writes the scripts, produces, directs, chooses and trains every
actor and then outperforms them all. He takes joy in the comedy, sorrows in
every pain and patiently awaits a happy ending that He Himself will perform. Holy,
Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty! I marvel at 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.
