While still shrouded in lingering darkness, I observe the
advance signs of a new day dawning. Both body and soul are pulling out of the
stupor of slumber and the light and hope of today is rising. With God’s pardon
and care I will escape the shadows of fogginess and walk fully in the light of
a new beginning. This new day is a gift and I am thankful for another shot at
improvement and accomplishment. Lord, dispel the murkiness of wrongdoing that
has infused me and cut me loose from all that binds me to disobedience. Help me
take hold of what You now put before me in this day You have made.
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.
