The
light of early dawn reminds me of my spiritual condition in this world. There
is a noticeable but slow change emerging; darkness is slipping away as light is
gently rising. I am no longer in darkness, nor am I fully in the light, yet it
is clear, light will win. I gratefully welcome the daybreak manifesting within
my soul, but I desire to speed this process. Stepping clear of all that shadows
accelerates the brightening. Lord God, Light of the World, chase away all
gloominess of dark with Your resplendent Presence. Rip down the curtains of doubt
and self-will within me that obscure Your blazing Glory.
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.
