Daily Devotions
March 17th, 2025 by Pastor SolleyEph 5:14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
KJV
What does it take to wake you up? One alarm, two, three? What does it take to wake one up? When I was a youngster at home it would take three calls from my mother to get out of bed for school in the morning. Every morning, three calls from my mother to get up and out of bed. But if my father were home it was just one call from him. He did not call louder than mom, did not move closer to my bedroom than mom, but it took just one call from dad. It all comes down to whom you decide to listen to and when. Here we find our God calling for His children to awake from a spiritual sleep and the Bible is speaking to believers in the above verse. What took place is that they had fallen into a spiritual sleep that left them like the world. (Eph 5:11-13 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. 13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.) This is the spiritual sleep that has taken over many Christians today. They want to look like the world, talk like the world, act like the world and still claim God’s approval. But God is calling for us to awake and walk with Him. This week in our daily devotions we will consider what God calls us to wake up to. For today consider what it takes to wake one up.
