The slightest touch of a rudder
can change the course of a vessel. The same is true of my soul. While I often
seek something colossal to shift my course, God mostly uses small things to
guide me into His best. Scripture warns us to not despise “the day of small
things.” Every great oak begins as an acorn. How can something with the
potential to populate the entire planet with trees fit in the palm of my hand? Yet,
it can. Father, remind me to pay attention to Your smallest touch. Guide me
today into the center of Your will. May the full potential You designed me for
be thoroughly realized.
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.
