Many
things may temporarily stir emotions, but the soul cannot be awakened to God
without Divine Initiative. It is the spark of the Lord Almighty that instigates
deep searching or gnawing spiritual hunger. A horse will not walk straight
without a hand on the reigns and I will do no better. We must never forget the
constant need for God’s guiding touch upon our souls. Lord of Glory and All
Wisdom, You stir my heart and steady my steps. You O Lord Who are capable of
all things will order my steps and lead me to secret places where I may breathe
the rarified air of the Most High. I gratefully welcome Your celestial intervention.
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.
