The walk of faith is at times a solitary, private path. While others may be willing to join in, inevitably there are places within our journey where there is only single-space passage. However, we are never actually alone since our Heavenly Father has promised in Deuteronomy 31:6 (NKJV): “Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord Your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.” When we feel desolate in our journey of faith we must remember that moments of solitude are invitations to walk closer to God. Rather than bringing sorrow, these defining moments release great joy as we take the Master’s hand and trust His guidance through secret places. Ever-Present Lord open my eyes to see Your faithful omnipresence. Though fears may lurk in the shadows, where You lead I will safely and gladly follow.
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.
