God is
never taken in by my words, no matter how sincere they seem. Frankly, nor am I.
I too, must see follow-through in my actions to genuinely believe in what I
say. Often, I have been at that divine tipping point where intent teetered
toward sincerity, then rocked back toward selfish contentment, only to again
settle for spiritual complacency. But God’s Persistent Love will not abandon me
begging from a barren heart. My Lord, My God, You lovingly rock me forward till
I cast my eyes onto Your fullness, then nothing else will do. May I completely
fall firmly and permanently into Your arms.
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.
