Another
day has arrived. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow remains beyond the horizon.
What I have is now. It is time to ignore what should have been or what is to
come; the prevailing question is “what does the Lord require of me THIS day?” I
need my mind and heart in the game. The careless ease of self-confident fools
destroys them. Too often, I drift over the line or drop a wheel off the
pavement for lack of proper attention to the moment. Lord, I commit my ways to
You. With Your help I will pay better attention. Prompt me in things both large
and small and keep me centered in Your Will.
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.
