Tidal
waters can be tricky for boaters, I have run aground a few times thinking I had
sufficient draft. Surface appearances can be deceiving. In dealing with people,
shallow love is useless; love must run deep. Every attitude that is contrary to
true love for our fellow man must be exposed and replaced with God’s awesome
love. Commingling of motives must cease. Father, teach me to love
authentically, faithfully, consistently and tenderly. Let Your love flow
through me without restriction.
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.
