Doing
God’s will does not depend upon perfect conditions. In fact, negative
circumstances are practically a requirement for things done in faith. If
something is easily within grasp faith is not essential, but seeing and doing
the impossible requires taking action on what is not yet seen. As I step
forward in faith I usually have only fragments of clarity, not the whole
picture. Trusting God to pull the pieces together while navigating through obstacles
is both cleansing and exhilarating. Father, thank You for the unique joy faith
brings. Grant me grace to live in full abandon to Your will.
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.
