I am
not a very picky eater, but have faced things difficult to mouth and swallow.
It is said, “you are what you eat” and there are things I just don’t want to
take in or become. Thank God Our Redeemer is not so choosy. Upon facing the bitter cup of
Gethsemane He
readily drank it down. God swallowed our death-marked souls whole and for a
moment, He too, became what He drank. But what He became could not remain.
Glorious God and Savior, in rising from the dead You overcame sin. Rather than
us permanently turning You into sin, You have now eternally turned us into
righteousness children.
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.
