Recently,
huge thunderstorms rolled through. There were menacingly dark clouds, furious
wind, brilliant lightening, explosive thunder and blinding rain. Just minutes
later, the storm left an unexpected gift: a soft golden glow through delicate
mist. An indescribably beautiful moment granted by an angry storm. O Lord my
God, when I in awesome wonder, consider all the worlds Thy hands have made. My
soul sings Your Greatness and I am reminded that there is blessing on the other
side of every trial of life.
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.
