Though everything in this world can be shaken, God’s unfailing
love never is; it is not of this world nor bound by its frailties. Truth
administered in His limitless love is the only thing that can uncover what is actually
wrong with me and the only thing that can cure my wrongdoing. Like the shepherd
who chases down his wandering lamb, God’s passion for His people is relentless
in its pursuit. Lord of All Mercies, thank You for appointing your love to heal
my brokenness and empower my actions. In Your hands I will pass through every
tempest, traverse every dessert and scale every mountain in confident peace as
I walk in the shadow of Your unfailing 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.
