So many problems are rooted in reckless thoughts that tumble from our lips as
reckless words. Only fools believe that we should say whatever we think. Every
thought must first be brought under obedience to the Word and Spirit of the
Everlasting One. Unfiltered speculations must not be allowed to roam freely in
our minds and should never exit our mouths. Things spoken become life or death
to the speaker and hearer; therefore they require God’s constant guidance. Lord of Love and Truth, may all my thoughts
be surrendered to You. Help me guard my tongue and let love rule my heart.
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.
