The walk of faith is not a singular climb up a
solitary mountain; it is more akin to a trek across a mountain range. The
journey of faith is a high calling, with many highs and lows. There are those
glorious moments of breathtaking vistas never seen by the faint of heart, and
those exhausted arrivals to exhilarating heights, only to be followed by steep
plunges into dark valleys. Our ascents to the mountaintops always include
dizzying descents. Such is the life of faith. The walk of faith tests
everything within us and makes us stronger than we ever imagined. Great are You
LORD and greatly to be praised! You do not abandon your beloved in the
swamplands; instead, You walk with us throughout the ups and downs of the trek
of faith.
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.
