I place my life before God today as an offering, and I fix all my attention on Him. As this days unfolds, I embrace all He has for me. I face this day with the anticipation of His guidance, and also with the promise of His strength for what lies ahead. All I want is Him to mold me and change me from the inside out. I want to be renewed in my heart and mind, and open to all He wishes to pour into my life. Like a sponge I want to absorb all of Him so that I might grow in His grace, and for Him to complete the work He wishes to finish in me.
Without spiritual maturity
my life will have no emotional and mental stability. I will be like a
ship on the sea with no anchor to hold it fast. Subject to every
circumstance that arises, I will be tossed in the storms of life with
no lasting peace. My mind will be so self-absorbed on what I face
that my life will have no purpose but worry and fear. But if I will
fix my attention on God instead of my circumstance, I will be changed
from the inside out. He will rescue me from the drowning waters of my
own making, and set me on His rock-solid foundation of truth. I will
recognize the lesson He teaches, and respond to it without
hesitation. His peace will carry me safely through the storms that
always come. His joy will spring up like a fountain always offering a
fresh perspective. His strength and power will always be there to
rise above any circumstance or temptation. I will not be pulled back
down to a level of immaturity that will ultimately destroy the life I
have found in Him.
He is the potter, and I am
His clay to shape as He wishes. He is the fire in the kiln of life
which refines me. God helping me, I place my life in His hands to be
created―for Him to
complete the work He wishes to finish in me.
