Road
signs can only help those who read them and make the necessary adjustments to
the messages they carry. God places warnings, reminders, instructions and
navigational help in our daily walk, not to restrict us from success, but to
defeat our earthly tendencies toward lawlessness. Carelessness kills, but
obedience offers life and safety. A wise person passionately seeks to be wiser
still and is always searching to improve their awareness, discernment and response
time to God’s directives. Holy Father, may Your unrestricted Wisdom defeat my
moments of irresponsible insensitivity to Your Guidance. Lord, make me a wiser
man and grant me insight that I may live it and share it with others.
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.
