We have alarms in our cars and homes, police
officers on our streets, military forces on guard for our nation, protection for
our credit and wifi and still, it is not enough. None of these can remove fear
from our souls. But there is great news, the Bible announces to all who will
hear: “Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you.” Scripture
declares: “The Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you
from the evil one.” God’s Faithful Promises and Abiding Love offer the highest
level of security for the surrendered heart. While trials will come in this
world, you can securely trust that God "plans to prosper you and not to
harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”. O LORD My Shepherd and Prince
of Peace, I rest in Your unending care beside still waters.
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.
