The
Word of God not only repairs what is broken within us, when “written on the
tablet of the heart” it protects us from future catastrophes. Daily intake of
Scripture not only informs us, it transforms us. I am not capable of honest
self-evaluation without standing in the lighted mirror of the Word illuminated
by the Holy Spirit. Like nitro glycerin, even in small amounts, Scripture
applied deep within can unearth even the most solid resistance. Blessed Lord,
flood my heart with Your Power as I drink deeply from the Well of Life. Your
Promises are my counselors, protectors and refuge.
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.
