When I
look back at my life it is easy for me to see God’s mighty hand at work. He has
navigated me through treacherous storms and carried me on eagles’ wings over
oceans of blessings. Yet, as I again stand at the edge of a sea of
opportunities ahead, I mostly see churning waves and dangerous obstacles. At
times I still hesitate to cast off for the horizon, yet I know I can trust the
Captain of My Soul to guide me along the way. Heavenly Father, only Your Word
and Spirit will turn my gnawing apprehensions into solid faith. Maneuver me
past my doubts; I trust the helm to Your guiding touch.
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.
