An
element of the Biblical narrative of the crucifixion is the “seamless garment”
Jesus wore. The Roman soldiers thought it of such value they gambled each other
for it. I suggest that a “seamless life” is of even greater value. I long for seamlessness,
where there is no distinction between one part of my life from the other. Where
God’s imprint on my heart can flow freely between friendships, worship, work and
play. Where His ways become my ways. Where His love dominates every action.
Father, pour over me like a flood. Saturate every corner of my life with Your
Presence and make me a man of consistent character and actions.
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.
