WAKE UP! ![]() 1 Thessalonians 5:6-10 So then, let us not be like others, who
are asleep, but let us be awake and sober. For
those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. But
since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as
a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. For
God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through
our Lord Jesus Christ. He died for us so that,
whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. Greetings! BlogFam, We are slightly less than six months away from
shouting HAPPY NEW YEAR! Now, please do
NOT get the wrong idea because I am NOT trying to rush through the remainder of
2013. On the contrary, I am even more
committed to discovering and experiencing ALL that God has for me in the
remaining months, weeks, and days of the year of our Lord 2013. What about you? I can be honest with you and tell you that
there are already things in 2013 that I have learned, celebrated, forgotten,
neglected, overcome, waited for and the year is still not over. And so, on
TODAY and for the next 21 days, I am RE-committing myself to seeking and
seeing clearly GOD’S VISION for my life.
I do not want to be like those who are asleep or wasting their time on
assignments, people, places, or things that are not central or essential to God’s
Vision for their lives. I do not want to
fall asleep or stay asleep when it comes to fulfilling God’s Purpose for my
life and BlogFam, I want to encourage you as I encourage myself to WAKE UP!!! YES!
I am sounding the alarm because I do not want any one of you to get lazy
or be lackadaisical when it comes to actively pursuing GOD and whatever GOD has
for you to do or to be. I know that you
already know that everything we go through is preparation for what is
next. I know that you know that there
are consequences for every action we take.
I know that you know that our words mean something to those who hear or
internalize them. I know you already
know a lot of things that will lead and guide you to becoming the very best You
that You can be. So, all I am saying
today is WAKE UP! And like Nike… JUST DO
IT! BlogFam, ultimately, God wants us to live
together with Him for all of eternity but until that glorious day, let us be
sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of
salvation as a helmet. For God did not
appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus
Christ. Friends, I want you to be faithful AND hopeful, loving AND
complete. And while we do need our rest
physically, when it comes to our Spiritual lives, we must fight the sleep and
stay awake so that we can maximize the life our God has given to us by
fulfilling God’s Vision/Purpose for our lives! BlogFam, will you join me? Will you WAKE UP and not sleep away the
remaining days of 2013? Will you commit
yourself to being faithful, hopeful, loving, and complete in Christ? I hope and pray that you will. I hope and pray that you will intentionally
commit yourself to maximizing the months, weeks, and days until the moment we
scream HAPPY NEW YEAR. I hope that you
will not dismiss or write off this year
as over, gone, done, finished, without doing everything you can to be the very
best that you can be. I hope that this
year continues to unfold wonderful blessings and wisdom-filled lessons that will
prepare you for the BEST that is yet to come!
BlogFam, WAKE UP!!! And THANK GOD that this year is NOT over! God Loves You and I Do Too!!!
