A HUNGRY SOUL

“Even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their master’s table,” Mark 7:28 ESV. These were powerful words spoken out of the deep need of a mother seeking God’s help for her child. Even when the disciples and The LORD Himself seemingly made it difficult for her, she would not go away, she would not lose heart, she would not quit! Psalm 107:9 ESV gives us further insight into unlocking the power of spiritual need: “For He satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things.” And Proverbs 27:7 NKJV states: “A satisfied soul loathes the honeycomb, but to a hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.” Too many people walk away from the help they seek because the journey of faith is more difficult than they expected. A truly hungry heart is not easily offended. Glorious Father, may I never tire of following hard after you. Only in Your Presence can I quench my thirsty soul, only You have the Words of Life, and in Your will alone will I find rest.

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.

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.

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.
