The
Word of God identifies and repairs what is broken within us and when “written
on the tablet of the heart”, it also protects us from future catastrophes.
Daily intake of Scripture not only informs us, it transforms us, and transports
us to higher ground. I am not capable of honest self-evaluation without
standing before the lighted mirror of the Word of God. And in the same way
nitro glycerin can unearth mountains, Scripture applied deep within can unearth
the most stubborn resistance. Hardness of heart is blown to smithereens by God’s
Holy Word. Blessed Lord, flood my heart with Your Power as I drink deeply from
the Well of Life. Your Promises are my counselors, protectors, refuge and
victory.
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.
