Another
daybreak brings me one day closer to an unveiled look into the face of my
Creator and Redeemer. The very thought of it brings forth both excitement and
trepidation. To see as I am seen and know as I am known is at once exhilarating,
and frankly, a bit intimidating. But I am comforted to know that He Himself is
making me fit for that moment. I am keenly aware that the actions and attitudes
of my heart fall short of His glory, but according to His Word, He will finish
what He started. Lord of Mercy and Grace, once more I remember, only by Your
grace and mercy do I stand. You alone are able to prepare me for Your Presence.
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.
