Scripture Ephesians 5:14-21,27
It seems like these verses are saying,"Wake up! Get going! Stop wasting time." I'll never forget when I picked this promise one day. It said,"Awake thou that sleepest and arise from the dead and Christ will give thee life." I remember saying,"Lord I am not dead or asleep, why this promise?" In my Spirit I sensed God telling me to examine my life. When I did, I realized that I wasn't as alive and vibrant for Him as I used to be. I had grown a bit weary and was wasting time. We all need to examine ourselves from time to time to see exactly what we are doing for God. We have to redeem our time, not waste it.
We need to make the most of every moment because Jesus is soon returning for His church. He's not coming back for a church that is tired and weary of doing His work. Verse 27 says that it will be a glorious church. Praise God! The child of God has every right to be excited because of the hope we have. We need to wake up and get going for God.
How is it with you today? Do you feel weary and tired in your Christian walk? Maybe you feel that your life is not what you want it to be. If so, commit yourself afresh to God and allow Him to bring you to the place where He wants you to be.
Christ calls us to awake today
Awake and look around
He wants to use us everyone
In this world where sin abounds
