Our
whereabouts are not our choice alone. The Patriarch Abraham recognized the
importance of hearing and obeying God’s directive voice. He was called to a
faraway place where his inheritance awaited his arrival. While it was entirely unknown
to Abraham, God’s footprints were already there, in the land of Canaan. The
LORD Almighty chose where Abraham would fulfill his destiny and therefore had made
the ground holy before he was sent. Prompt obedience without hesitation meant
Abraham ended up WHERE he was supposed to be WHEN he was supposed to be there.
Lord, may I never miss Your Voice calling me to a new place of trust and
obedience. And may I never delay arrival to Your chosen moments.
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.
