“Yours is the day, yours also the night; You have established the heavenly lights and the sun. You have fixed all the boundaries of the earth; You have made summer and winter,” Psalm 74:16-17 ESV. I watched a National Geographic Special on “whales” recently. They were showing humpback whales and their seasonal mating trek over thousands of miles to the same place each year. The voice behind the fantastic video noted: “No one knows how they perfectly navigate such distances.” I suggest, the Boundless One who created earth’s boundaries also helps the creatures within it maneuver through its obstacles. For those indeed sent and led by God’s Spirit, no obstacle is too difficult, no height too high to climb nor distance too far to reach. Glorious LORD blessed are those who know Your voice and obey Your commands and whose only limits are those You desire.
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.
