The accessibility of travel has dramatically changed over my lifetime,
bringing home a simple point: I can get practically anywhere from where I am.
It is easy to feel stuck in life, but with determination, we can move forward
from wherever we are. The belief that we CAN is vital to taking the first
steps. The words of Paul ring loudly: “I CAN do all things…” Equally important
to belief is the rest of Paul’s message: "through Christ who gives me
strength.” Surrender to the Person, Power and WILL of God is key. In other
words, I am limited only to God, nothing else. Lord, thank You for pointing to
the means and direction for pursuing Your best.
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.
