As
light cuts through darkness, so truth cuts through deception. The simple reason we
run from truth, hide the truth, bend the truth or even deny the truth is that
truth is so powerfully efficient. Yet, truth is useless unless delivered in
love. Like a glove without a hand inserted, truth cannot successfully operate
apart from love. Since truth originates and emanates from God it must be
embodied in His nature. Heavenly Father, to walk in Your Truth is to walk in
Your Love. Help me navigate the complexities of human weaknesses and find that
perfect balance only You can supply.
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.
