Honesty
with others is dependent upon openness to God. Since He knows all things it
seems wholly unreasonable that I would attempt to close any part of my will to
His Presence, but honesty does not come easily since it always requires change.
For our own sake He will accept nothing less than humble submission, therefore
pretense must be painfully stripped away, piece by piece and shades of truth
renounced, no exceptions. Lord of Truth and Light, eradicate every shadow in
me. Let Your radiance bathe every crevasse, every corner. Lord, I rejoice in Your
Light, help me walk in it today.
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.
