“You are the God of great wonders! You demonstrate your awesome power among the nations,” Psalm 77:14 ESV. I awoke to another beautiful sunrise, today. Each day it is different, yet each sunrise is magnificent. That God is a Master Artist and Architect is beyond dispute. When I consider the incredible beauty of nature, the combinations of colors and textures with which He strokes the earth and sky, and His use of light, shadows, and darkness I am overwhelmed with praise. There are not enough words to describe His exquisite work. He spins the worlds in His hands and slings the stars in their places, yet misses not one single detail, no matter the size. How comforting it is to know that it is the very same Grand Master who created the world that is working in me and through me! Lord, I trust Your brilliant creativity and Your steady hand. I humbly offer my life as Your canvas.
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.
