Those
who plot evil never seem to run out of schemes to do additional harm. What a
travesty when those made in God’s image turn the divine imprint of the Creator
into an inexhaustible fountainhead of sorrows for those they hate. Sadly, in
the end, they too, will face the very troubles they have caused others as surely
as the chickens come home to roost. What is sown is what is reaped. Great and
Glorious One, I ask forgiveness for every seed of harm I have spread and crop
failure for every bad seed sown. By Your gracious beneficence may I only
scatter kernels of life and blessing.
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.
