As it was for Abraham, so it is for us. Every step of obedient faith holds
the promise of inheritance. Looking behind adds nothing to my future, but
stepping forward with eyes lifted means territory added. Will I delay in unholy dependence upon my
known resources or will I hear and obey? I choose the latter, renouncing the freezing
effect of fear and embracing what is ahead by faith. Stepping forward in
yielded obedience is the only safe path. O Lord my Rock, strengthen my resolve with
Your divine touch. Open my eyes to the previously unseen. Guide my feet to Your
chosen path.
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.
