I
replaced an old pair of shoes recently. Strangely, though they had lost their
maximum contribution to my life long ago, there was a last moment of
indecision. I sometimes have a difficult time letting familiar things go. Our
souls were created for eternity, but everything of this world is temporary. Only
in heaven will our hearts find full equilibrium. Everlasting Father, you have all
things in Your grasp; nothing is lost, nothing forgotten. You are my Eternal Constant.
You never change. In You there is no lack. You are immutable, perpetual, timeless,
relentless, boundless and never-ending.
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.
