A new
day offers another shot at obedience. Complications, diversions and agitations
are always present, but the chance to serve God THIS day will not return. As
compelling as distractions might be, I must let them fall behind. Today I will
seize the day by passionately pursuing the opportunities God presents. I will
not permit fears, disappointments or carnal longings to hold me back. This is
the day the Lord has made! Dear Father, deliver me from disorientation and
direct my steps. In Your Mercy, release fresh fire and divine focus to my heart.
I delight to do Your will.
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.
