Setting
your bearing on a destination is not enough; arrival to the right spot requires
navigation. Even the most accurate compass is not sufficient since “Magnetic
North” changes, depending on where you are on the planet. Where the compass
points is rarely the exact direction of the North Magnetic Pole or of any
other consistent location. The difference between Magnetic North and True North is slight, but the
longer the journey the more important navigating the difference becomes. In
similar manner, there is a slight but critical difference between what is true
and what is truth. What is true will vary a bit, but truth never changes.
Father, guide my steps and lead me into Your truth. Deliver me from false
images of Your will and ways. Help me maintain a biblical worldview and be
delivered from a worldly biblical view.
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.
