I must
ultimately surrender to God alone. My own will or even the best intentions of
others will never do. The most difficult discovery is just how much resistance
is imbedded in our souls, along with, so much darkened counsel we receive from
those around us. Job and his buddies come to mind. We are each created in God’s
divine love for purpose and destiny; to ignore the will of God is to deny His
exquisite love and all-knowing brilliance. Lord of All, forgive my insolence.
May Your intent for my life never be shadowed by clouds of reluctance or the
confusion of ignorant voices.
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.
