Yesterday’s
quota of bricks dutifully met, its residue is still with me. Mud and straw are again
before me, but I am ready. I am no slave to the things I must do, for I am a
son of promise, as are all who faithfully serve our Lord and Savior. I remain
in this world, yet not of it. Though my feet still trod the foreign soil of
this earthly trek, greater things are yet ahead, prompted by the inexhaustible
benevolence of the Greater One. Heaven awaits. Lord, teach me faithfulness
through daily obedience, each moment submitted to Your care. Grant me grace
this day to build an enduring legacy of submission to Your pleasure.
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.
