There is no trepidation in not knowing what is ahead if you can count on someone absolutely trustworthy who does. Indescribable, unshakable, flourishing rest is released within our soul when assurance exceeds ignorance. The unknown paralyzes us, but knowing the “All-Knowing One” mobilizes us. Like a small child being led across a busy road by his father, the firm grip of God pulls me along with little concern of harm. I know I am in good hands as I’m being taken where He leads, so I will therefore move forward in confidence and peace. O Lord Most High, You are my trustworthy guide. Lead me wherever You will. I do not fear Your governance and I welcome Your perfect, and perfecting plans.
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.
