Daily Devotions
October 2nd, 2009 by Pastor SolleyRom 13:11-14
11 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.
12 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.
13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.The message on Sunday morning will be built around one little word that is found in our reading this morning. “Awake” The Bible tells us to “awake out of sleep for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.” Indeed we are now one week closer to the return of the Lord. Christian do you realize that we are living in the very last days before the return of the Lord Jesus Christ? Many live as if this world is going to go on forever, as if this world is all that is important. But we know that is not the truth, Christ is coming again, and coming soon. We need to be awake unto the Lord, awake unto righteousness. This may be the very last week, the very last day we have to witness to the lost, to work and pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. The very last week we have to live for Christ. Have you done those things this past week?
