God must be honored in all we do. Honor is not
merely acknowledging Him; it is offering Him our first, our best and our all.
The heart that recognizes the authority, wisdom, power and goodness of “The
Great I AM” will have no trouble trusting Him through both storms and
temptations. We waste our efforts storing up earthly things only to see them slip
away on the tides of life; but he who learns to store God’s Word in his heart
will never lack. Troubles come, but a storehouse of Truth nestled in the soul
is a continuous wellspring of life and provides what we need for every
occasion. Glorious El Shaddai, to breathe Your Name expunges my soul of all
fear and releases unrelenting hope and assurance! To ponder and speak Your Word
is an unending supply of manna in desert places.
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.
