“Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; And His greatness is unsearchable,” Psalm 145:3 NKJV. The troubles of this life can pile up quickly, temporarily blocking my view of the greatness of God. Yet, just one speck of tearful surrender to the LORD Almighty sends towering troubles tumbling down for no matter the fierceness of invading darkness, the LORD Our Light is GREATER STILL! When hoards of hatred surround us from the towering heights the weakest cry to the heavens scatters our foes to the four winds, for The LORD Our High Tower is GREATER STILL! Whatever may come and whatever its force it cannot prevail, for the LORD Our Victor is GREATER STILL! My Lord and King, mere moments contemplating Your Greatness lifts me above the fray. I now face this new day with renewed strength for the battle. In Your Relentless Mercy, You have again poured out Your love, for You are always GREATER STILL!
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.
