After
hearing the advice and counsel of all others, even those worthy of highest
regard, there are those occasions when no human input will suffice. After all
earthly effort is fully exhausted there is something more, much more. In that crucial
moment there is but one choice, we must turn our face to the wall and pray to
the Lord Our God. No human intervention is necessary or welcome in that
instant, it is holy space where only the Almighty may speak. It is not a place
of desperation, it is where hope begins. O Lord my God, at the termination of
my meanderings Your Glory is unveiled.
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.
