I come to crossroads of decision daily. Wisdom is always there like a
friendly farmer at a roadside produce stand; easily seen if you look, lots of
fruit simply waiting to be chosen and the trained eye and counsel of the one
who personally nurtured it from seed to table. I want to stop and
browse, but with so much to do in a rush I drive forward, often to my own harm.
Life’s choices require God’s input. Substituting my own judgment for that of
the Lord of Ages is foolhardy. Father of All Wisdom, forgive my impertinent
haste. Help me to take the time to seek Your Face and choose wisely. Thank You
for Your constant Presence and unmatched wisdom offered freely to those
who seek it.
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.
