Darkness cannot hold back light; the moment it appears darkness
scampers away. As believers we do not simply walk in the light, we are light in
this dark world. Should I
have no more than this day, the miracle is that I have it at all. God has
granted me another sunrise. Each unveiling moment comes jam packed with
opportunity, surprise, blessing, and challenge. I stand at an empty slate board
with chalk in my hand. Blessed Giver of Life, guide my hand. Strengthen my
resolve to not simply drift along through this new day. Grant me discernment to
unearth its treasures.
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.
