A
serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious avoidance of
worldliness. We too often 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 heart. 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!
“This is the day that the LORD has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it!” Psalm 118:24 ESV. The table is set for a brand-new day. Only God knows exactly what is already prepared for my arrival in it. I must now leave behind days gone by and ready myself for new insight, a higher life, and greater things. Am I up for what today will bring? Only the day will tell, but the One who provides it will also carry me through it. One thing is sure; I will walk upon on sacred footprints since the Alpha and Omega has already trod this moment in advance, sprinkling blessings and divine opportunities throughout. I must pay attention so I don’t miss a thing He has placed along the path. Lord God, Lover of My Soul, today is the day You have made; I am so good with that and already rejoicing in what is to unfold. Lift me in Your arms and carry me through with faith, joy, and purpose.
Amen
