Each heart knows its own bitterness, its own fears and
its own solitary path. Likewise, no one else can fully share its deepest joys,
its unexplainable peace or its moments of unencumbered victory. In both bad
times and good times there are very private moments where we would like to
invite others, but they cannot join us; these are times of single space
passageway where no others may tread. These are the precious occasions of life
when there is only God. Almighty Father, I am never alone or without recourse;
You are ever present and without limitations.
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.
