Learning stations are a popular technique for children to develop
cooperation and teamwork while problem solving in a real-life situation. Since
divine correction and instruction are the way to true life, God also places
learning stations throughout each new day. My tendency is to arrogantly brush
past each lesson too quickly, confident of what I think I know. But God’s
goodness wins out, and despite my attempts to move on too quickly, I find
myself back at the same learning station again and again, often with the same
people, until the lesson is complete. Dear Father, thank You for Your
persistent tutelage.
Forgive my impatience and insolence. Awaken within me daily expectation and
willingness to learn.
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.
