The
Word of the Lord surrounds us; the universe itself is formed and held in place by
God’s declaration. He spoke and there was light. He spoke again and there was mankind.
There is no language, no place, no creation and no heart where His voice is not
heard. The Word of God is always active, imparting life and power to all;
purifies the unclean heart and tearing down the most stubborn stronghold. Praise
to You, O Lord my Maker, my Healer, my Deliverer and my Defender! Eternal God
and Father, teach me to hear and to promptly obey your decrees. May Your Word
flourish in me always.
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.
