Most people would like to make an impact on the world around them, but
it seems so overwhelming a task. Is it really? An avalanche begins with the
movement of one single object. You may be the ignition point of something
amazing. Inspired ideas launched by passionate commitment and steady advance changes
the trajectory of things. I have had the privilege of being around quite a few world
changers over a lifetime. Some are natural rock stars, but frankly, most are amazingly
ordinary; it is their stubborn relentlessness to make something special happen that
is the difference. Lord, in Your Mercy move my heart that I may be used to move
others.
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.
