Difficult times bring many valuable lessons. Most of the important
changes I have made came as a direct result of a crisis. As the pressure rises, so does my focus and
intensity of seeking God’s face. Fresh grace is granted to the hungering
pilgrim to deal with unplanned circumstances. While I do not intentionally seek
more problems, there seems to be no shortage. Nor, however, is there ever a
shortage of God’s Mercy and Goodness. Glory to You Lord God Almighty, thank You
for each opportunity to know You better. In my darkest hour You sweetly lead me
toward your heavenly light.
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.
