A wise
person passionately seeks to be wiser still, always searching to improve
discernment, fairness and guidance. Road signs can only help those who read
them and make necessary adjustments to the messages they carry. God places
warnings, instructions and navigational help in our daily walk, not to restrict
us from success, but to defeat our earthly tendencies toward lawlessness. Carelessness
kills; obedience offers life and safety. Holy Father, may Your unrestricted Wisdom
defeat my moments of irresponsible insensitivity to Your Guidance. Lord, make
me a wise man.
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.
