God is
indescribably generous. Consider how He bestows blessings upon those who love
Him and even over those who curse Him. Giving activates godlike capabilities
imprinted on every human heart by its Creator. There is a part of our soul that
simply cannot be switched on apart from generosity. Benevolence without
authentic love is possible, but genuine love devoid of giving is utterly
impossible. Beneficence with strings attached is the earthly way, giving unconditionally
is divine. Lord, teach me Your ways. Thank You for every opportunity to be more
like You. Open my hands while flooding my heart with a giving spirit.
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.
