My weaknesses cannot be hidden
from God. But why would I want them concealed when only He has the power to
transform me? His approach is stern yet filled with infinite compassion. Even
the slightest sincerity brings the hosts of heaven charging toward our wounded
hearts. The Divine intent of our Maker and Redeemer is unrelenting and
extravagant, pursuing every corruption that loads down our souls. Father,
though my vain acts continue, Your Mercy and Grace always find me. I renounce
my earthly ways and cry out for deliverance from human frailty. You, O Lord, are
Life and Salvation.
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.
