What I do comes down to who I am. Actions flow out of character. Words and deeds flow out of thoughts. All of these things speak of who we are. Observe them. There are things about our own words and actions that should alarm us. There are things about our thoughts and attitudes that should cause us more than pause. They should awaken us to a need for a deeper cleansing. They should call us to prayer for a fuller transformation.
Father, keep shaping our character to be truly like You. You have given us the picture of what that looks like in Your Son. You, who created us out of dust, please keep molding us like clay.
From the “The Master’s Table”, by H. Lamar Smith.
