It Time To Wake Up

 

Today's verse is 1 Thessalonians 5:8

But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. 

    At a time when it is a thing to be “woke,” which definition would best be described by Paul in Romans as everything that is not awake: “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. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.” Though we may be grieved by the actions of those about us, let us indeed wake up, for we can see that a time of judgment is near, Let us therefore, take heart, and declare the Judgment of God, and not forget his Salvation, which he makes available to all that will Repent, and come to Jesus, by the way of the Cross, after which he Arose, that he might Justify all that are his. Amen.

To God be the Glory
