It is
too late to push away this new day; it is here, I must now deal with its
arrival. So I will embrace its treasures and troubles alike. However things
unfold, it will all work for my good as I am being conformed into the image of
Him who created me. Unfathomable love and immeasurable goodness await my arrival. Wisdom is
poised at every turn; delightful discoveries and teachable moments spread
throughout. I need not fear whatever comes, for everything must ultimately
pass through my Heavenly Father’s approval. He will apportion fresh grace and for
what I must now face. My Lord and Keeper, I steady myself, prepared by Your
Words and guided by Your Holy Unction. I am ready. This will be good.
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.
