How do
we traverse unknown terrain when we are not even sure where we are headed?
Abram’s journey from his birthplace to a promised inheritance has lessons to offer.
What do we do when God calls us to move forward, but a huge obstacle stands in
our way? Or how do we cross over when we can’t see a way to get there? The
Hebrews faced these dilemmas multiple times in their journey from Egypt back to
the Promised Land. But again, there are answers for us in their journey. Clearly,
we must first be willing to leave something behind to take hold of the unseen.
When the path is blocked we must take steps of faith, understanding that sometimes
the waters do not part until our toes are in the water and our enemies on our
heels. O Lord my Deliverer, thank You for taking me beyond the possible! I can
do all things Your Will demands and done within Your Strength! All things.
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.
