Huge storms throughout the dark of night are now superseded
by the soft, warmth of the light of sunrise. This morning prompts my
remembrance of God's pattern: dark to light, storms to calm, “mourning to
dancing”; “joy comes in the morning”. Yesterday now fades and slips away, a new
day is dawning and it is already prepared for my arrival. Almighty Father, I
have never been here before, but You My God, “Everlasting Father,” King
Eternal, the Great “I Am”, “Alpha and Omega”, “Beginning and End”, have already
trod these moments. Cause my steps to land only in Your footprints.
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.
