“This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it,” Psalm 118:24 ESV. It is still dark outside, and yesterday’s light is long since gone. But daylight is quickly crawling over the face of the earth and is headed straight for me. Already, I prepare to step into the brightness of this new day the LORD has made. Isaiah proclaimed: “Come, O house of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD.” This new day comes front-loaded with potential for me to be further transformed into His image and to do His bidding on the earth. A new day is dawning, and I am already glad and rejoicing in it! Fresh Manna is spread throughout it. New things,
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.
