Catastrophes have a way of being all consuming; the worse
the situation, the more absorbing it is. The beginning point for moving forward
is to enthrone God in our praise. As we behold and magnify Him the
circumstances of life come into proper perspective. Praise validates the
sovereignty of God in our own soul, arresting fear and releasing faith. The
effect of praise provokes us to proclaim His greatness to others. Lord, You are
High and Lifted Up and greatly to be praised! From the heavenlies even the
largest mountain is small. I glorify and adore You O Lord My Shepherd and
Keeper!
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.
