Each new generation has wonderful new ideas. Music
changes, language changes, styles change, but some things never change; nor
should they. We are warned several times in the Bible: “do not move an ancient
boundary stone”. According to God’s design, the present and future is rooted in
respecting the past. Interestingly, as one grows older, the lessons of the past
become more relevant and crucial for both now and for what is ahead. Wonderful
innovation, knowledge and communication is growing at breakneck speed all
around us, but it is increasingly necessary to stop and remember who we are and
where we came from to keep us on course to where we are going. Eternal Father,
unmask for me the lessons of life; past, present and future. LORD, grant me
timeless insight for today.
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.
