My
heart is far too easily pulled into the gravity field of worldly distractions
and daily responsibilities. The pressures of living for eternity while
constantly tethered to earthly activity can empty the soul of the kind of
passionate following that God deserves. As a new dawn approaches my challenge
is to faithfully fulfill my earthly duties without ignoring celestial
directives. Almighty Lord, only a heart that lingers before You will find the
right balance. In Your mercy, guide my steps this day. Help me find that
perfectly positioned sweet spot of feet on the ground and heaven on the mind.
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.
