AWAKEN

The alarm sounds and we hit the snooze.  Over and over again the noise continues.  Getting out of bed is difficult.  Katie continues to make cupcakes for any and every occasion.  I have no will power when it comes to those sweet little morsels of goodness.  However I am gluten sensitive, so what does all that flour do?  It puts me to sleep.  It makes it difficult to get up and going the next day after I have devoured a cupcake. 

As I tried to get up this morning my mind shifted to the song written and recorder by Natalie Grant, “Awaken.”  She sings to the Lord asking Him to awaken her heart, awaken her soul, and awaken His power to take control, awaken the passion to live for Him!

If we can’t awaken we need a good wake up call from the Lord.  He needs to awaken our souls.  A spiritual awakening is what we all need.  What is a spiritual awakening?  It is when more and more people savor the glory of Jesus.  It is when people realize they can be satisfied in Him not worldly possessions.  This awakening brings enthusiasm as we are all united in the body of Christ.  We gain fullness and clarity of the gospel truths.  A passion arises amongst all people who are absorbed with Him. 

Awaken your soul with and for Christ today.  Allow your feet to hit the floor and begin your journey into the mission field drawing others to Him.

Matthew 28:19-20New International Version (NIV)

19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
