Adam’s
first breath came directly from God. In an instant a pile of gathered dust was
made a living soul, bearing the image of the Immortal One. To this day, the
Lord declares mastery over death, imparting life by what proceeds from His
mouth. Every last corner of darkness in me will be filled with the Light of His
love as His Words of Life are spoken. He sweeps together into piles the dust
and ashes of my failures, only to transform them into living memorials of
redemption by His divine breath. Oh Lord my Creator, You own every part of me. Breathe
upon me afresh this day.
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.
