Our
whereabouts are not our choice alone. The Patriarch Abraham recognized the
importance of hearing and obeying God’s directive voice. He was called to a faraway
place where his inheritance awaited his arrival. While it was unknown to
Abraham, God had already chosen and made holy the ground where he was being
sent. Obedience without hesitation meant Abraham ended up WHERE he was supposed
to be, WHEN he was supposed to be there. Lord, may I never miss Your Voice
calling me to a new place of trust and obedience. And may I never delay arrival
to Your chosen moment.
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.
