As a child I always wanted a bigger slice of pie if
I could get it, but now I must constantly self-manage my portion control. My childhood
proclivity for more still pops up, but to be a man with whom God is pleased,
childishness must be permanently put away. However, there is great news when it
comes to my “slice of life”, things could not have worked out better. The
psalmist declares: "The Lord is my Portion!" This is perfect. Since
God is My Portion, the only limitations are those He places on me. Now THAT is
portion control I can absolutely trust! This means that nothing is too big if
He wants it and nothing is too small if it is His choice. LORD, You are Great
and Greatly to be Praised! Blessed Father, Help me to live fully and faithfully
in Your daily provision.
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.
