THE FOREVER CONSTANT

“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us,” Romans 8:18 ESV. Material things and personal benefits are easily taken for granted. When something to which I am accustomed is no longer is available, I always feel surprised and disappointed. Presumption it seems is a constant nemesis and is a sad result of exaggerated self-importance. So, what is God’s answer to our constant tendency to be presumptuous? Shifting sand, inconstant circumstances, tidal changes; in other words, nothing in this world endures exactly the way it is right now, and this is by divine design. In this way, He keeps us constantly reminded and forewarned, this world is not our home. Merciful Father, You, are the Solid Rock on which I stand, all other ground is sinking sand. You Alone are THE FOREVER CONSTANT. Thank You for the reminders.

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.
