Great
Britain suffered defeat in the first battles of World War II, retreating back
to the Island nation in “The Miracle at Dunkirk.” To keep the enemy confused, road
signs were removed in preparation for a Nazi invasion. Even the simplest conveniences
of life must be sacrificed when war is impending. There should be no doubt that
people of faith are under siege at this very moment. Spiritual forces of
darkness are using culture, technology and hedonism as weapons. O Lord Our
Victor, show me where in my life I am placing personal conveniences over
preparations for vanquishing triumph over darkness.
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.
