One
glance upward into a clear, starry night immediately puts things into
perspective; both our troubles and achievements, no matter how colossal, are
minuscule in comparison. David wrote: “The heavens proclaim the glory of God”. While
engulfed in the daily grind true perspective can be easily lost. I must remind
myself throughout each day to take regular glances toward the heavens in
prayerful thought and praise of the Almighty. Even a mere moment in meditation
of God’s promises or a twinkling of soulful surrender to His will and ways lifts
my heart to the heights. Majestic LORD, King of the Universe, to You be praise
in all things! Grant divine perspective to my daily march as I turn my eyes
toward You and make me a shining light to 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.
