Darkness
cannot hold back light; the moment morning light appears darkness scampers
away. Light wins, a new day has dawned and it is front-loaded with unfurling
possibilities. Should I have no more than this day, the miracle is that I have it at
all. God has granted me another sunrise and each unveiling moment comes jam
packed with new opportunities, surprises, blessings, and challenges. As believers, we do not simply walk in the light;
we are light in this dark world. Blessed Giver of Life, in Your unending mercy,
guide my steps. Strengthen my resolve to not simply drift along throughout this
new day. Grant me discernment to unearth its treasures and shine through me to
others.
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.
