I propose
that If God made watches they would only display one time: eleven fifty-nine and fifty-nine
seconds. Why? Because it seems to me it is normally the last possible second
when He chooses to answer my prayers and do His divine work. His timing is
perfect of course, but it never coincides with my chosen timeline. Candidly,
considering how I am transformed for the better by this process, I am actually grateful
for it. His way imparts greater confidence to me in the biblical promise: “When
He appears we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him as He is.” It is now abundantly
clear; it only takes a second for God to do a miracle…just one last second.
Omnipotent Father, forgive my imprudent haste. In my final moments on this
earth You will finish Your work in me and I’ll arrive to You perfect. Wow.
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.
