“For everything, there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven,” Ecclesiastes 3:11 ESV. Each second of life is precious since every moment on earth and in heaven is an irreplaceable gift of time from The One who holds eternity in His hand. God is in full control. I desire to make wise and effective use of this new day as it now unfolds. Without my Heavenly Father’s help, this would be impossible, but the gift of new opportunities to follow His instructions is accompanied by a daily allotment of grace, wisdom, and faith. There is no lack in God’s daily supply since He has already placed everything we need into this day before we arrived! So, I will boldly step ahead, knowing this has been previously prepared for my arrival. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! Teach me Your ways, and thank You for another lap.
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.
