I have
experienced a new grace lately. The question "why now?" comes to
mind, but why ask? Does the Almighty, All-knowing One need to explain the things
He does in His own Sovereign Power and Eternal Wisdom to me? Would I understand
if He did? Grace is an undeserved gift; would not the demand or need for His
explanation contradict the very nature of grace? Will I never learn? Yes, I am
learning even now. So I will leave the questions behind and just breathe it in
as deeply as I can. There, that is better already. Glorious God of All Grace
and Mercy, thank You, thank You, thank You.
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.
