The same hand that shapes the heavens is the Mighty
Hand and Outstretched Arm I am offered when I stumble along life’s slippery
trail. The Hand of God may be invisible to the human eye, but may be clearly
seen by the eye of faith. The mighty Arm of the LORD eludes my physical senses,
but my heart may feel His warm embrace in the loneliest, most desolate
circumstances. The Hand and Outstretched Arm of God tears away the veil of
darkness, dispels my fears, displaces my doubts, destroys the works of demons
and lifts me from the lowest valleys to higher ground. Blessed are you O LORD
MY GOD! I raise my feeble hands in faith and offer praise and thanks, for you
are God beyond understanding, generous in all things, perfect in all
ways and blessed forever.
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.
