I am
continually amazed at how little I actually know about God. Each new discovery
opens another universe of more to know. Children seem to have the advantage in
divine discovery since they are not encumbered with a need to know how it all
works. Interestingly, as I grow older I seem to be reverting back to a
childlike approach. It is reassuring to realize that this whole process of
spiritual growth is in God’s hands and not my own. He initiates the divine
spark in us, then guides the process of learning; His Word and Spirit
navigating us through inexplicable mystery. Father, You have brought me thus
far, I hunger for more. Teach me Your ways.
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.
