“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths,” Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV. The International Space Station must be supplied and maintained regularly. No matter how capable the astronauts and ground control personnel are, docking in space is so complex it must be turned over to autopilot. Only by yielding complete control to the navigation and control computers can they safely connect. I face the same issue each and every day. Only heaven’s navigation and control system can safely dock my heart with God’s. I too must release the process to God’s absolute control, not my own. Blessed LORD, by Your hand alone may we enter into Your presence. To You Who reigns over all in awesome power, be glory forever and ever.
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.
