God’s eternity-based
viewpoint on what is important is quite different than our own; nothing He does
is unmindful of future consequences or careless. Many things I had initially considered
enormous life issues, in fact, turned out to be insubstantial. On the other
hand, behaviors, attitudes and circumstances I thought hardly worth mentioning
have become His constant target. Such is the process of spiritual growth; it
cannot be accomplished without divine directives. Heavenly Father, You do not
abandon us to our own doings. I am wholly dependent and eternally grateful for upon
Your Holy Meddling.
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.
