Here I
am again on the precipice of a new day. As I prepare for what is ahead I am
acutely aware that good things are on the horizon, but still I face many
difficult things right now. Scripture states: “all things work together for
good to those who love God”. All things? Yes, even bad things, scary things,
confusing things. I don’t need to understand all things, I must trust He is
working and cooperate with His ways and means. This I know, God is good…in ALL
things, at ALL times. So, I plod ahead, trusting the future is safely in the
Almighty’s hands. Father, I acknowledge the limitations of earthly ways, but
take courage from Your awesome perfection. I can do all things through Your
strength. In all things I am more than a conqueror because of Your unrelenting
love.
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.
