Even
in the midst of the most violent of storms there is beauty within it. Each and
every day has marvels sprinkled into it by the Hand of God. Like eyes adjusting
to dimly a lit room, our heart must attune itself to see what can be easily
missed. Opportunities to both give and
receive can happen on a crowded plane or in a busy grocery checkout line. New
friendships can emerge from nowhere and patch up gaping losses. Blessed Lord,
Your Holy Finger dabs beautifying touches onto the canvas of my life. May I
never miss the chance to acknowledge the wonders You deposit all around.
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.
