“He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart,” Ecclesiastes 3:11 ESV. Each new day, the sands of time seem to be pouring through the hourglass faster and faster. Perhaps it is simply because I am getting older, or it could be as many believe, that we are in the climax of God’s eternal plan in the earth. Scripture reminds us to live in a manner that is “redeeming the time, because the days are evil,” Ephesians 5:16 NKJV. Talents, treasures, and time are gifts from the Almighty to be invested wisely, I want to live and act in a manner that is most effective. To live with a sense of divine purpose is to truly live! Heavenly Father, Giver of Life, thrust me full speed into the race. Open doors of opportunity for me to make a difference and give me the courage to steward my life accordingly.
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.
