When we encounter barriers to doing what we want we attempt to reconfigure
truth to fit our desires, placing our feelings as the highest level of
authority. God designed us to live with certain inward and outward restraints.
When we consciously abandon the safety of Scriptural values and accountability
for a path of self-determined constraint it is a sure path to destruction. To
reject truth-molded principles as our inner compass is to align ourselves with
the forces of darkness. Lord God, I desperately need Your Voice, THE VOICE.
Corral me in to a life of love where I may run freely and safely.
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.
