“WAKE UP!”

Psalm 90:12 (KJV)
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

Colossians 4:5 (KJV)
Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.

Ephesians 5:16 (KJV)
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

What time is it? We probably ask that question or at least look at our watches or clocks several times each day!

The Bible teaches us to number or make our days count by living in wisdom. The true wisdom that comes from the Creator God is the only real wisdom!

What are we doing with our time? Are we living the way we please and expecting God to bless what we do or are we committing our days and our lives to asking and obeying what He has created us to do?

James 4:14 (KJV)
Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

James tells us in the verse above that our life is like a vapor! We are born heading toward death. What are we doing in between? Whose lives are affected for good each day we are on this earth?

We are to redeem or make the most of the time we have on earth to Glorify the Father with our lives and bring His Kingdom here!

What does it mean to redeem the time and number our days? It means to live with an eternal focus! It means to understand that we are to do everything we do as unto the Lord! Whatever our hand finds to do, we do it with all our might!

We live each day in the yoke with Jesus whose burden is light, and yoke is easy, and He does all the hard part!

We commit ourselves and our families to the lordship of Jesus Christ and understand that His way is best!

We spend time meditating on the word and sitting in His presence to receive instructions for our day, our way, our life!

We are to cast all our care on Him, for He cares for us!

We are to live our lives as a light in the darkness, as we work, study, take care of our kids, homes, businesses, and ministries with Jesus as our partner!

Romans 13:11 (KJV)
And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

Do you ever feel like you want to shake local, state, national and world leaders, and yell: “Wake up, wake up, use your brain”!

Do you think the one that created us and put each of us on earth for a specific purpose feels that way!

Romans 13:11 above gives us His instruction! It is high time to wake out of sleep!

Look around! Evil is dark and darkness needs light, and we are that light!

The true born-again believers, the church of Jesus Christ, must awake out of our slumber, lethargy, discouragements, and despair, and rise up like a mighty army and tear the devil’s kingdom down!

The end is near! We must love, show, and speak truth as we live our lives!

Jesus is the way! Our walk with Him shows the world the better way!

Are we sleeping? WAKE UP!

Are we sleeping not praying? WAKE UP AND KNEEL DOWN!

Are we sleeping not speaking? WAKE UP AND SPEAK UP!

The world groans for a better way and does not understand that it is a relationship with the Creator God through Jesus Christ our Savior, that they long for and need!

We must be bold and live in the freedom and power of Almighty God.

Jesus taught by telling, but He taught more by showing! He showed compassion! He showed peace and He showed trust in the Father’s will!

What are you showing with your life? Redeem the time! Make your days count!

Father, what amazing plans you have for each of your precious creations! Help each of us to do all you have created us to do, one day at a time, one prayer at a time, and one task at a time, as we understand our days are numbered and we redeem the time! I ask this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth our Savior and Lord! Amen!

Love, Live, Laugh!
