Road
signs can only help those who read them and make necessary adjustments to the
messages they carry. God places warnings, instructions and navigational help in
our daily walk, not to restrict us from success, but to defeat our earthly
tendencies toward lawlessness. Carelessness kills; obedience offers life and
safety. A wise person passionately seeks to be wiser still, always searching to
improve discernment, fairness and guidance. Holy Father, may Your unrestricted
Wisdom defeat my moments of irresponsible insensitivity to Your Guidance. Lord,
make me a wise man.
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.
