There
are no surprises for the Alpha and Omega; He who was, and is and is to come is
fully prepared to handle whatever happens. So often I confidently act on what I
think I know only to be tripped up by ignorance or deception. God alone is
completely devoid of the blinding fog of falsehood, there is nothing hidden or
unknown to the Almighty. I am therefore utterly dependent upon His wisdom and
amazing grace. O My Great Physician, I welcome Your daily examinations and
treatments. Deliver me from my many appeasements of human frailty. My surprises
are divinely managed in Your Sovereign Care.
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.
