Standing
at the edge of the sea offers many joys; calm, angry, or in between, its beauty
and girth touches me deeply. Caressing waves lap the feet, a steady chorus of seagulls,
laughing children and crashing waves soothe the heart. Sand between the toes,
wind on the face, warm sun, and wonderful creatures all combine to bring a song
to mind: “O Lord My God, when I in awesome wonder, consider all the worlds Thy
hand hath made.” Yes, my soul is
singing. Majestic Father and Creator, I adore Your handiwork. Thank You for the
depth, fullness and richness of Your boundless Love.
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.
