I have
made steady spiritual progress throughout my life, yet many issues seem to
recycle. Though I find myself fighting the same battles over and over again it
is comforting to know that my Creator and Commander will finish what He started
in me. The final outcome is not dependent upon my own strength; the Lord
Himself is at work. I am a work in progress but there is a finish line God has
designed. Father, banish every futile resistance from my soul. Mold me into a
faithful servant, pleasing to You in all may ways, leaving nothing untouched or
unreformed. I am at rest in Your care.
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.
