What
do we do when God’s will calls us to move forward, but an obstacle stands in our
way? How do we cross over when we can’t see a way to get there, or when the
path is so unclear that we can’t be sure? The Hebrews faced this dilemma
multiple times in their journey from Egypt to the Promise Land. We must first be
willing to leave something behind to take hold of the unseen. When the path is
blocked we must take steps of faith; sometimes the waters do not part until our
toes are in the water. O Lord my Deliverer, thank You for taking me beyond the
possible! I can do all things in Your Will and Strength.
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.
