My
earthly excursion must be trod on mountaintops and through deep valleys alike;
each day brings gains and losses. My goal is to please God, yet it is difficult
to take hold of eternal things while constantly immersed in the temporal. Unruly sin and lingering regret accompany my
pilgrimage, but mercy and forgiveness deliver me daily. His Word and Spirit
trounce the ravages of carnal intrusions, His Goodness transforming “all
things”, even the worst of circumstances, for “our good”. Glory to You Lord!
You walk within us, before us, behind us, beneath us, above us and around us.
We never walk alone.
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.
