Wake-Up Call…
Are there actually people who are excited to get out of bed in the morning or does almost everyone wish they had another 20-30 minutes (or more) of sleep? I imagine there are some folks who pop out of bed and maybe wish it was always 30 minutes earlier. If you’re one of these folks, please stay away from me until I’ve had a Starbuck’s or something stronger. Morning for many comes too soon!
So, how do you respond to a wake-up call from the Savior? Most likely the same way we handle mornings. “I hear you Lord and I will get to changing that thing soon. Just give me a bit longer.” Maybe you don’t say this directly but quite possibly your actions do. There is a clarion call in Ephesians chapter 5.
“Wake up, sleeper. Rise from the dead. Then Christ will shine on you.”
Earlier in this verse we hear, “Light makes everything clear.” Yes, light makes everything clear, visible, and full of life. This “Light” is the Savior and His word. You can wake up from your spiritual grogginess by simply being in His word. To miss this wake-up call is to remain in the grave needing a resurrection. Let’s see how this devo goes for you, maybe you’ll hit the spiritual “snooze” or maybe you’ll open the Book of Light and rise from the dead.
