One glance upward into a starry night immediately puts things into
perspective; our troubles and achievements, no matter how massive, are minuscule
in comparison. While engulfed in the daily grind true perspective can be easily
lost. I must remind myself throughout each day to take regular glances toward
the heavens in prayerful thought and praise of the Almighty. Even a moment in meditation
of God’s promises, a twinkling of soulful surrender, lifts my heart to the
heights. Lord, To You, glory in all things! Grant divine perspective to my diurnal
march as I turn my eyes toward You.
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.
