A stroll on a sandy beach provides hidden treasures placed
there by the creative forethought of God. The ebb and flow of tides opens the
treasury of the seas for those who stroll along the shore. God sees to it that
each day offers the same to all mankind, wherever we are on earth; hidden
treasures carefully placed by the Hand of God. The angels had it right:
"Glory to God in the Highest, good will toward men." Lord of Constant
Wonders, teach me to slow my pace and pay greater attention to Your quiet handiwork.
Open the eyes of my heart to Your daily divine deposits.
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.
