God,
who created everything from nothing, is never put off by the size of my needs. Words
such as unbearable, unapproachable, incomprehensible, inconceivable, invisible,
untouchable, unsearchable, unchangeable are earthly concepts; they do not exist
in His celestial vocabulary. By one breath life came to all mankind, by one
word darkness is replaced with light, by one act of love, redemption was
wrought for the whole world for all time. Gracious and Majestic Lord, the more
I learn of Your greatness the more my brokenness is defeated. I will praise
Your name forever and ever!
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.
