Like
pure, refreshing water hidden underground in a desert cavern, our created
purpose lies deep within us. This is where the psalmist’s words come into play:
“deep calls unto deep”. The value and benefit of drinking from its waters far
exceeds the strenuousness of finding it. Whenever I stray too far from His plan
the Goodness of God pulls me back to my only enduring source of life. He formed
me to do His will and no other aspiration can be substituted for it. Every
earthly desire must align with His divinely engineered plan. Father You created
me with purpose and an innate capacity to fulfill it. I so need Your daily
grace. Help me to drink from Your still waters.
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.
