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.
Usage of the phrases “My God” and “Our God” in songs and conversations among believers has gone far afield from the Biblical context in which they were used. These seemingly innocent attempts to describe our relationship with Elohim must only be spoken with keen Scriptural understanding: “I am the Lord, there is no other, apart from me there is no God.” Plain and simple, to even imply that He is but one choice among many is fundamentally false. In a world of increasing polytheism we must be clear, the LORD is One, He stands alone as King of the Universe, Creator of All Things. Holy LORD, let my life declare boldly, You Alone are Almighty God.
