Life must be lived intentionally. A lazy drift down the river of life
may seem appealing, but the wise choose a straight path. If I had put forth as
much effort into choosing the right things as I have making excuses, I would be
much farther along. Yet, on this new day I can make another run at obedience to
God’s will and ways; the sun will soon rise and wisdom, purpose and passion for
God’s Kingdom is already is calling out. Blessed is the person who listens. Yes,
Lord, I hear Your whisperings. Guide my choices and keep me from drifting out
of my lane. Your instruction is more precious than rubies, nothing in this world
can compare.
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.
