While driving in unfamiliar surroundings I may
follow the crowd, reasoning that the majority must be right. It sometimes works
out, but I often end up trapped in in a traffic jam along with everyone else. With
a little forethought and quick response these situations can be avoided.
Thoughtlessly copying others is a sure way to lose track of your own distinct path.
Each person is divinely crafted to fulfill God’s created purpose for them; we
are not designed for mindless following. O Lord Our Provider, keep me from
ignoring Your constant provision of guidance. Direct my feet to Your devised path
for me.
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.
