The table is set for a new day. As Creator and Host, only God
knows exactly what is prepared to be set before me. I must now leave behind
simple-minded ways and ready myself for new insight, higher life and greater
things. Am I up for what today will bring? Only the day will tell, but the One
who provides it will also carry me through it. This day I will walk on sacred
steps, the Alpha and Omega has already trod this moment in advance. Lord, today
is the day You have made; I am good with that and already rejoicing. Lift me in
Your arms and carry me through with faith and joy.
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.
