On this day which Americans
celebrate the birth of a nation my heart is at once thankful and troubled. The
very foundation of our freedom is being shaken by our unguided and
undisciplined pursuit of it. In the steady hands of the Almighty hearts can rightly
balance one’s own freedom with that of others. Only authentic, divinely
navigated love will suffice. Never in our history have we been at this specific
moment; our future is now hanging in the balance. Lord God, show us with Your
light and truth. Grant us wisdom and Grace. Dearest Lord, please bless America
afresh.
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.
