1 Samuel 4:1-5:12; Isaiah 47:1-15; 2 Corinthians 8:1-24
Therefore He says: “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.” Ephesians 5:14 NKJV
This verse commands us to awake and arise. Waking up is generally associated with the beginning of a new day and all its possibiities. As we consider all the potential that lies before us in service for our Saviour, what are we doing with our lives? Are we committed to serving Him? His divine power has given us everything required for life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3). He enables us to do mighty and wondrous things. May we awake from our sleep and open our eyes to all the possibilities we have in Christ. —Bronwyn Hagey
Awake my soul, my voice I raise,
And sing my great Redeemer’s praise;
He justly claims a song from me:
His loving kindness, oh, how free! —Samuel Medley
