It can
be very dangerous to stroll through the wrong neighborhood. There is plenty of
evil in this world that finds us even when we are making wise choices, so why
make ourselves easy targets? The answer is curiosity. The wonderful gift of
inquisitiveness, which motivates a child to learn, leads to medical
discoveries, and motivates space exploration, can also be perilous. Curiosity,
under the guidance of godly wisdom is a benefit, but influenced by spirits of darkness,
can be deadly. Almighty Father of Wisdom and Blessing, keep my curiosity under
Your control. Guide my steps in the path of life.
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.
