Wake Up Call

Ephesians 5:14

“Wake up, sleeper,
rise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you.”

It's so easy to live out our lives and come to a point where we feel like we are just sleep walking through life. We go throughout our day-to-day lives often in the same mundane pattern, and often we find ourselves stuck in a rut, not really going anywhere but through the motions. When we enter into this deep period of spiritual sleep in our lives, we feel lifeless and a little empty, like we're missing that something that we need to wake us up from our slumber. God is that thing our souls crave and desire when we've been caught in the motions of this life. He is the wake up call telling us to rise and experience the light of the morning, to no longer live in the dark. Even when we know we need to wake up, so often we hit snooze on our spiritual wake-up calls and go back into our sleep because we don't want to leave the comfort of what we already know. But when we wake up and answer God's call to life, we are overwhelmed by the light our souls need in order to live. As we rise from the dark and lift our faces to God's morning light, we absorb the light Christ so willingly shines on us and find ourselves incredibly satisfied in the light of true life.

Open up to God about where you are in your life right now, whether it be in a deep spiritual slumber or a light filled life in Christ. He deeply desires to hear what's weighing on the heart inside you that He so fearfully and wonderfully created. If you feel God leading you, ask Him to come into your heart and wake up any part of your life that may be caught in a spiritual sleep so that you may experience the fullness of life in Christ. Cherish this moment as your heart wakes up to a beautiful new life in Christ's light.

I pray that your new life in the light of Christ would give you an incredible joy throughout today.I hope you all have an amazing day!
