I
awakened this morning working on something with real-world intensity. As it
turns out I was dreaming and all my sleep-world labors were useless. It felt
authentic and I perceived it as reality, but achieved absolutely nothing. Now I
am actually awake, but will I do any better? Will I accomplish something of
lasting value? Lord of Truth, I confess my capacity for false perception. Grant
to me authenticity that pleases You today. Rouse me from the slumber of self-deception
and help me put my energies toward the eternal.
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.
