A rocky mountainside, a bush on fire, these were seemingly
unremarkable things, but on a fateful day on Mount Sinai the ordinary was
transfigured into the miraculous. God’s Manifest Presence transformed run-of-the-mill
dirt into sacred ground, a fugitive into a deliverer and a shepherd into a
prophet. Moses was simply fulfilling his daily duties as a sheepherder when a
glance up radically changed everything. Majestic Lord and Father, nothing is
ordinary when infused with Your Presence and Power. Help me to turn aside in
the midst of the commonplace and see Your Glory today.
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.
