My
daily challenge is to glorify the greatness of God while still imbedded in
human frailty. Each new sunrise presents both opportunities and dilemmas. Will
I now move farther away from wrongdoing and commit to greater devotion to
godliness? Will I cut loose the many tethers to earthliness to embrace heavenly
freedom? As Joshua commanded the people, so must I “choose this day” who I will
serve. Father, I praise You for Your grace that delivers me from the thick
darkness of doubt. I choose You. Grant me fresh faith to walk more perfectly in
Your promises. In Your mercy, hear my prayer.
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.
