At
times searching out God’s will can feel like walking through a pitch-dark home
with which I am not familiar; creeping slowly, touching each obstacle while
trying to determine what it is. I must always remember God has night vision.
He knows exactly where I am at all times. How often He removes or places
something in the path I’ll not know in this life, but I can trust His steady
guidance. Lord, Your ways and means are wonderful. Only You can work the necessary
miracles to make life possible for a soul so infused with ignorance and doubt
as mine. By Your Mighty Hand I progress safely.
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.
