It sometimes seems that common sense is no longer so common.
Convoluted rationales rooted in reimagining the world to revolve around one’s
own personal happiness is the culprit. The principles of right and wrong or
common good get completely lost in an environment of “do your own thing no
matter what” and “if it feels right it must be right for you”. Not so for the
true followers of the Master. A Biblical worldview puts ultimate truth back
into its proper place. Lord of Light, align my heart and mind to truth. Calibrate
my human reasoning to knowledge, wisdom and divine love.
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.
