A
stroll on a sandy beach provides hidden treasures placed there by the creative
forethought of God. The ebb and flow of tides opens the treasury of the seas
for those who stroll along the shore. God sees to it that each day offers the
same to all mankind, wherever we are on earth; hidden treasures carefully
placed by the Hand of God. The angels had it right: "Glory to God in the
Highest, good will toward men." Lord of Constant Wonders, teach me to slow
my pace and pay greater attention to Your quiet handiwork. Open the eyes of my
heart to Your daily divine deposits.
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.
