Early this morning, I had a series of dreams with a common theme: people who had drifted into meaningless nonsense.

The first was a Christian graduate student studying at a Christian university.  He was explaining his theory about corporate culture, which was full of human wisdom.  He had not received revelation from the Holy Spirit, but had formed a point of view that was utter nonsense, leaving me with a sense of woke ideology.  I pressed him with questions about why he believed his theory was Biblical, but he could not give an answer.

The second concerned a famous musician, singer, and songwriter who was serving food, symbolic of her profession and the release of songs and albums of the years.  She was serving “food” to the masses.  Her explanation of her work left me with a sense of meaningless activity.

The third dream involved two corporate marketing professionals who were discussing their work.  I pressed them on their approach and then confronted them about how they were living, following their own reasoning.  As I was involved in this conversation, a member of another company approached and said, “The questions that you posed to us concerning the meaninglessness of our work have haunted us.  We would like to discuss the topic further.”

The overriding theme was that of meaningless endeavors that amounted to the waste of one’s life.  In each case, they had followed the reason of man and the wisdom of this age, rather than the prompting and revelation of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus demonstrated and taught that we are to do nothing on our own initiative but to do what the Father is doing and say what He is saying, a concept emphasized in the Gospel of John 2:11, 32; 5:19-20, 30; 7:16; 8:26-29, 42; 10:18; 12:49-50; 14:10; 16:13.

If we are to avoid meaninglessness in our lives, we must have ears to hear what the Spirit of God is saying, eyes to see what He is doing, and the courage to follow Him.  To sharpen our spiritual senses, we must study the Bible under the tutelage of the Holy Spirit, who was sent to guide us into all truth (Jn 14:16-17, 26; 16:13).  Accepting Jesus as the Son of God and surrendering our lives to Him is the only path to a meaningful life.

The Lord has called us to preach His truth, not our point of view, theories, or the wisdom of this age.  He has said, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the cleverness of the clever I will set aside” (Is 29:4; I Cor 1:19; 2:6; 3:19-20).  We would do well not to stand in His way.

These dreams affected me deeply, leaving me with a sick stomach and deep grief.
