Wake Up!

“There are times when some situation or circumstance is used by God’s providence in such a compelling way that it seems as if you’ve finally been awakened from a long and drowsy sleep – and thus ‘revived’ you have a sense that you have fallen behind in what you were called and meant to do. Now, startled awake by your reinvigorated conscience and recovered spiritual perception, you pray God’s help to shake off your soul’s slumber, and get back to what you know you ought to have been doing. And so, enabled by grace and directed by God’s Word, your feet hit the floor to follow again, walking in the Spirit, in a way that is bound to impact every relationship with family and friends, neighbors and co-workers, and every aspect of one’s calling to a worthy walk.” -- Jon G. Baldwin (Eph. 5:14; 2 Cor. 5:14-17; Rom. 13:11-14)
