Each
time I think I understand God’s ways and means He turns the diamond; new facets
of His splendor emerge and my perspective is advanced. For the true believer
there is no settling down where we are in this life, every pilgrim must
progress. Not only am I satisfied in this constantly changing status, I am
genuinely thankful for it. I am being pulled toward eternal purpose that I
cannot fathom but instinctively know awaits me. Lord, though I struggle in Your
arms, You never let me go. Keep me moving toward Your perfect will. Help me
never miss a turn or stop unnecessarily. Keep me progressing toward Your perfect
will.
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.
