One of
the world’s great rivers is the Zambezi. It begins as nothing more than rain
runoff, then grows and flows for
over 2200 miles, passing through six nations on its way to the Indian Ocean.
One of its many features is Victoria Falls, the largest waterfall in the world.
The Scriptures advise us: “Do not despise the day of small beginnings”. Many of
the wonderful, powerful things God does in the earth begin as a mere trickle.
So it is with the river of God within us. A mere trickle can eventually carve
into every area of our lives. Lord of All Creation. Pour out Your Presence in
me. Make my life a thundering witness of Your Glory and Power.
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.
