Though
everything in this world can be shaken, God’s unfailing love never is; it is
not of this world nor bound by its frailties. Truth, administered in His limitless
love, is the only thing that can diagnose what is wrong with me and the only
cure for my wrongdoing. As a shepherd chasing down his wandering lambs, God’s
passion for His people is relentless in its pursuit. Lord of All Mercies, thank
You for appointing your love to heal my brokenness and my actions. In Your
hands I will safely pass through every tempest, traverse every dessert and
scale every mountain in confident peace.
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.
