Another friend has slipped into
eternity. So many times I have been at this fork in the road, but I never get
used to it. One last earthly wave must do until our paths again meet on the
other side. Whether delayed or swift, death is certain, however, its sting is
swallowed up in victory for those assured by faith. Through the valley of
shadows there is no fear, only an assurance that goodness and mercy will
accompany us along the way. Father, in Your appointed moment, my soul will
ascend in pure delight. Thank you for those who bravely pave the way by leaving
a legacy of faithfulness.
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.
