A GREAT DAY AHEAD!

“This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it,” Psalm 118:24 ESV. I must recalibrate my heart to God’s promises each new day. Some days start out more difficult than others. Yesterday’s leftovers are already crowding into today, but I am perfectly positioned for things to improve. No, not just get a little better, all things will turn out for my good! In Romans 8:28 we read: “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” The LORD I seek to love loved me first! He has already prepared my path ahead to victory. Joy unspeakable now bubbles up from my inmost being as I turn my thoughts and praise to Him in Whom I live and move and have my being. My weaknesses and challenges are now the stages upon which His Divine Goodness can be on full display. I have no inward conflict in boldly declaring: “Bless the Lord oh my soul!” Father, I am nothing without You, but limitless within You. A great day now awaits!

INSIDE OUT

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.

HEARTBREAKS

Every soul experiences heartbreaks. Heartaches accumulate and develop tentacles that reach deep into our whole being. Particularly painful is the regret associated with perceived failures. Heartbreaks, failures and the remorse they foster do us no good unless they become motivation for learning, change and growth. People often let heartbreaks simmer too long which leads to hardening of the heart, but heartaches placed into the Master’s hands become pathways for spiritual progress. Lord, You make all things new. I’m joyfully growing, one heartache at a time. Use me as healing balm to others whose hearts are broken. 

THE LORD IS ONE

Usage of the phrases “My God” and “Our God” in songs and conversations among believers has gone far afield from the Biblical context in which they were used. These seemingly innocent attempts to describe our relationship with Elohim must only be spoken with keen Scriptural understanding: “I am the Lord, there is no other, apart from me there is no God.” Plain and simple, to even imply that He is but one choice among many is fundamentally false. In a world of increasing polytheism we must be clear, the LORD is One, He stands alone as King of the Universe, Creator of All Things. Holy LORD, let my life declare boldly, You Alone are Almighty God.
