A
commonly expressed human desire is to see a miracle as a rationale for belief
in God. Many seem to struggle with the idea that God works mightily through the
ordinariness of everyday life. We hope for mountaintop moments or dramatic
signs to convince us that the Holy One is paying attention, yet it is life
itself that is the signature of His work. My very breath is evidence enough of
His Divine Activity. O Giver of Life, thank You for another day of discovery of
the intricacies of Your constant Presence and Work. Help me to see Your hand and
hear Your voice throughout this day.
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.
