It’s time to wake up. The alarm goes off. You look at the clock and realize that there is work to be done. It’s that time. The Christian life is that way, too. The apostle said, “Do this, knowing the time. It is already past the hour for you to awaken from sleep” (Romans 13:11). There is urgency in a wake-up call. Get up. Time is slipping away.
Pray for wisdom and willingness to use each moment for God’s benefit today.
Living your life for your own pleasures is a waste of time from God’s perspective. You might as well be sleeping. The disciples fell asleep in the Garden while Jesus prayed, and He had to waken them three times. Sure, they were tired, but they needed to be awake. Sure, you may be tired. You think that you have done enough for Jesus in your lifetime, and you just feel like dialing it back now and looking out for yourself. Well, wake up! You can sleep later. Right now, you need to serve the Lord. You won’t regret it.
