Where
I live a winter rain almost always announces a change in temperature as cold
fronts push down from the north and warm fronts push up from the south. But
without the forecasts of highly experienced specialists with sophisticated equipment,
the coming changes are difficult to accurately predict. The same is true of
spiritual progress. I am dependent upon the reliability and accuracy of the
Spirit and Word of God along with the sage wisdom of those who have trod holy
ground before me. With time and practice, I too, can reliably see into the
unseen. Dearest Alpha and Omega, Thank You for Your Holy Instruments and the
testimony and imparted wisdom of those who have gone before us. May our
fruitfulness be worthy of their sacrifices.
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.
