“Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also,” Genesis 1:16 NKJV. The Sun is a daily demonstration of God’s amazing power, its benefits offered freely to all. Clouds may temporarily obscure its presence, and earth’s daily rotation makes it seem to come and go, but in fact, it is always there. Its power is never diminished, and its presence is never withdrawn. God, in His consummate Wisdom, created something necessary for life and made it equally a sign of remembrance of His unmitigated Power and constant Presence. He who slung the stars in place is always near whether we acknowledge Him or not. Wondrous God and Father, again, I fall to my knees, face to the ground, and praise in my heart. You are Perfectly Glorious in all Your ways. Your beauty is beyond description and Your supremacy beyond compare.
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.
