We live in an era when there is a growing chasm between
words and actions. It seems the proliferation of so many gadgets for 24/7
communications has worsened the problem. The sheer volume of things said so
easily to so many contributes to falsehood. There is no duplicity in God, what
He says, He does. He ”watches over His Word to perform it.” It is time to say
less and do more. Lord of Truth and Action, help me to live by deeds rather
than mere words. Purge from me all that is false. May my love for others be honest
and my words bathed in wisdom, grace and truth.
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.
