Life
seems very random. A bright summer day can quickly turn dark and dangerous. A
thunderous storm can linger for days or clear away in mere minutes. An infant’s
arrival means the entire family must adjust to new realities, new challenges,
new possibilities. The lesson? Be ready. A heart that is prepared for transition
remains at peace. While everything in this life changes, God never does.
Unchanging Lord, grant me a right spirit and unwavering willingness to trust
You as change approaches. You are the Eternal Constant, my immutable compass
point. I am at peace in Your 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.
