My
work requires that I stay informed on world issues. There is no shortage of
media outlets available, so each day is filled with news of calamities and dire
needs from around the world. I refuse to live my life in a fear-fueled rage
against circumstances. While there are many things I would like changed, I
accept that I don’t understand what is best for each moment on this earth. What
I do know that God is generous, loving, meticulous, and wise. He is ultimately
in control and I’m very good with that. Trustworthy Lord, all things are in
your perfect hands; I safely advance in blessed assurance. Your Perfect Love
vanquishes every fear.
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.
