The
Word of the Lord surrounds us; the universe itself is formed and held in place
by God’s declaration. He spoke and there was light. He spoke again and there
was mankind. In fact, everything in creation is framed by His Word. There is no
language, no place, no creation and no heart where His voice is not heard. The
Word of God is always active, imparting life and power to all who will take
notice, purifying the unclean heart and tearing down the most stubborn
strongholds. Praise to You, O Lord my Maker, my Healer, my Deliverer and my
Defender! Eternal God and Father, teach me to hear and to promptly obey your
decrees. May Your Word have full access to the far reaches of my soul. Word of
God, speak.
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.
