I am
dependent on fresh manna each and every day. Like the ancient Hebrews traveling
through the desert, I too, must have constant nutrition provided by God;
imagination, entertainment or self-driven efforts are inferior, dangerous
substitutes. The eternal impulse only God can give brings lifeblood to every
moment. Religious devotion has its place, but an active relationship that leads
to daily obedience to my created purpose is vital. Father Above, take my life
and let it be all for you. Clothe me with Your Presence and guide my thoughts
and desires into Your perfect plan.
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.
