The
more I take care of something, the more attached to it I become. Meaningfulness
and recompense directly correspond to what I have deposited. This is the
principle of sowing and reaping. If I seek love I must first scatter seeds of
love. Should I desire increased fulfillment I must help someone else find it. Every
seed produces after its own kind, so I must first plant the seeds of the harvest
I desire. Gracious Lord, You place fruitfulness in every seed and have established
seedtime and harvest for our good. Guide me to fertile ground and teach me
discipline that I may only sow commendable seeds.
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.
