Things
in life must be replenished. Clothes must be washed, pets must be fed again and
again, homes must be repaired; why do we think we must be filled with God’s
Spirit or surrender to His Sovereignty only once? Many seem surprised to learn
that daily replenishing is necessary for the people of God. Yesterday’s
blessings perish quickly. Today I must again dig deep, remind my heart of God’s
faithfulness and recommit to His will and ways. Lord Almighty, I renew my vows
to You. Fill me afresh with Your Presence. I again put my hand to the plow and
resolve to finish my course with fervor
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.
