Spiritual immaturity seems to have no bounds. I was
awakened today from the depths of sleep. There, in my dream, I was silently
being critical and judgmental of someone. Even in slumber, granted by the
Almighty for renewal and rest, unnecessary complaints vex my soul. Lord, my
need for Your saving grace is constant. I awake yearning for the
gentleness and maturing power of Your fatherly love.
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.
