The
pressures of creation’s temporal desires cannot change the Creator’s eternal
purposes. Simply stated, not my will but His must prevail. After all, who has a
better record? My whim’s come and go, but the entire universe is held together
by His thoughts and words. This is why my thoughts, words, attitude and actions
must come under His full command. The dual power of His Word and Spirit rescues
me from the quicksand of foolishness. Glorious Father, forgive my naive
insolence. You Alone know all things. Your Word is the path of life. Teach me
to fully depend on Your guidance.
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.
