Life
is replete with letdowns. Some are truly consequential but most are petty. The
problem is the small ones stick together, and if left festering, eventually mushroom into something truly ominous. If not diminished, discouragement will set in
with depression soon to follow. Learning to cast our disappointments into the
sea of God’s love is vital to spiritual advance. Each new day offers fresh
opportunities to cast our cares upon the One who truly cares for us. Father,
thank for Your Unfailing Love which is my deliverance from letdowns. Fill my
heart with Your Joy and teach me to console others with the same care I have
received.
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.
