Looking
at the ocean is full of life lessons. As an example, what you see on the
surface tells very little of its true volume. While there is significant
activity on top, the real action is only discovered by going deeper. There is
always much more over the horizon and it is headed your way. Every wave
deposits treasures on the shore but effort must be made to find them. Eternal
God and Maker of All things, You made the seas as but a token of Your Wonder. Lord
and Father, You are the Well that Never Runs Dry, the Dawn that Never Dims and
the depths of Your Love may never be exhausted.
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.
