Though
everything in this world can be shaken, God’s unfailing love never is; it is
not of this world nor bound by its frailties. Truth, administered in His
limitless love, is the only thing that can diagnose what is wrong with me and is
the only cure for my wrongdoing. A herdsman chases down his wandering lambs and
so does the Shepherd of Our Souls. God’s passion for His people is relentless
in its pursuit. Lord of All Mercies, thank You for sending your love to heal my
brokenness and discipline my rebellion. In Your hands I will safely pass
through every tempest, traverse every desert and scale every mountain in confident
peace.
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.
