While
still shrouded in lingering darkness, I observe the advance signs of a new day
dawning. Both body and soul are pulling out of the stupor of slumber and the
light and hope of today is rising. With God’s pardon and care I will escape the
shadows of fogginess and walk fully in the light of a new beginning. This new
day is a gift and I am thankful for another shot at improvement and
accomplishment. Lord, dispel the murkiness of wrongdoing within me and cut me
loose from all that binds me to disobedience. Help me take hold of what You now
put before me in this day You have made.
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.
