Most
of the calamities in my life have been situations that I never worried about or
even thought about before they happened. On the contrary, the majority of circumstances
I did worry about subsequently never manifested. The lesson? What a waste of
time it is to try to think my way through life! The journey of listening to
God’s Word and Spirit while serving, trusting and giving thanks is a far
superior path. Good Shepherd of my soul, I praise & thank You today for
Your superintendence, guidance, protection and love. Today I will take You at
Your Word, casting my cares upon You. ‘Tis so sweet.
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.
