The
troubles of this life can pile up quickly, temporarily blocking my view of the
greatness of God. Yet, just one speck of tearful surrender to the Lord Almighty
sends towering troubles tumbling down, for no matter the fierceness of invading
darkness, the Lord our Light is greater still. Though armies of hatred surround
us from the heights, the weakest cry to the heavens scatters our foes to the
four winds, for our God is greater still. My Lord and King, I now face this new
day with renewed strength for the battle. In Your Relentless Mercy, You have
again poured out Your love, for you are always, and forever, greater still.
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.
