At
times, searching out the right path can feel like being led along through a pitch-dark
place. These moments involve creeping along slowly and bumping into unexpected obstacles
while looking for the exit. I must always remember that God has night vision; He
knows exactly where I am at all times. How often He removes or places something
in the path I’ll not know in this life, but I can fully trust His steady
guidance and wise choices. The psalmist proclaimed: “This I know, God is for
me”. The apostle Paul weighed in: “if God is for us, who can
be against us?” Lord, Your ways and means are wonderful.
Only You can work the necessary miracles to make life possible for a soul bombarded
with ignorance and doubt. By Your Mighty Hand I progress safely.
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.
