The biblical phrase: “The Word was made flesh”
opens to us a life transforming mystery; the Word of God can dwell in human
flesh. It still can, and it still must. The Word of Faith is now implanted in
all those who believe in Jesus, and frankly, our lives may be the only bible the
people around us will ever read. This is one of many reasons Scripture states: “Let
the Word dwell in you richly.” Though we are not saviors ourselves, the same
Word of Life that dwelt in our Redeemer’s flesh now dwells in us. So I must
allow God to turn the pages of my life that others may be see and be enlightened.
LORD of Hosts, imprint my life so fully that Your Word may be manifest in all I
say and do.
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.
