Why
give in to the convenience of discouragement? Despair offers no rewards, yet since
it is so readily available it is easy to take its downhill path. The trail of
trust is a much steeper climb, but grants unseen vistas, still waters and
restored souls. God never ceases His tender care, He is “Yahweh ro‘i “,
“The LORD My Shepherd”. When we drift away from the fold or run and hide from
His care, The Shepherd of Our Souls never loses sight of His lambs, not even
for a brief moment. Though at times we try, we simply cannot tread alone, for
He will never, ever abandons one of His lambs. Blessed Yahweh, ro’i, from
sinking sand, You lift me, With tender hand, You lift me. Truly, all is well today
and forever on the trail of trust.
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.
