Flying
over the Sahara Desert, the world’s largest at 3.3 million square miles is an
amazing and daunting sight. It seems to go on forever, but every desert has its
boundaries. Though while trudging though one it may feel like they are limitless, wastelands do not go on endlessly. The lesson here is simple, never
give up through a long desert trek. As when He provided water and manna, shade
and light to the Hebrews in the wilderness, God’s love and provision are
limitless, carrying us through even the most extensive wasteland. Lord, Your
goodness and mercies accompany my journey and green horizons await me. I will
not despair for You are always with me. Your Presence is my daily oasis.
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.
