The quietness of early morning is a daily gift from God. As
the world awakens around me so does my soul. Light appears on the horizon and
exposes what was previously shrouded in darkness. In the same manner, the
Lord’s Light penetrates the deepest darkness of my heart and brings forth
repentance, cleansing and joy. New faith is released to walk in His unfailing
love and fresh resolve to steer clear of known traps arises. O Lord My Maker
and Redeemer, I welcome Your truth. May faithfulness replace my unwillingness.
Heal my self-inflicted wounds and use me to heal others.
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.
