The possibility of betrayal is always present in every
act of trust, except with God. Three simple, powerful words are sprinkled
throughout Scripture: “God is faithful”. These words need no further clarification
because to know Him is to love Him; to be loved by Him is to trust Him, no
additional authentication required. So here is a revelation, I can trust people
precisely because I trust God. I must learn to trust that He is at work in and
through others for my benefit because He is faithful. Mistrusting everyone else
is in fact, mistrusting God; we simply can never let anyone or anything be God
for us but Elohim. True and Faithful One, my heart, my life, my future and my
well-being are in Your faithful, trustworthy hands.
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.
