Daybreak
has a soft quietness to it that feeds the soul. God’s whispers seem more easily
heard in the gentle rollout of a new day. Soon the world awakens and the still
of dawn is lost in the cacophony of life. An indispensable characteristic of
the God-directed life is hearing and obeying the voice of God. Before charging
ahead into battle I must confer with my Commander In Chief and prepare for what
is ahead. Dearest Lord of Life, early will I seek You. Thank You for the
blessedness of morning’s silence. Teach me to hear accurately and obey swiftly.
Clear my heart from earthly entanglements.
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.
