WAKE UP

            For too much rest itself becomes a pain. -Homer

1 Corinthians 15:34, Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

            Christian friend, it is time for us to get busy getting the Gospel out. It is time for us to share the difference between social Christianity and Biblical Christianity. To awake this lost and dying generation it will take sacrifice, sanctification, and service from us. There is no to be asleep or taking an extended rest. It is only time for us to uplift the name of Jesus so the Spirit will draw men, women, boys, and girls, unto salvation.

            Will we be awakened form the daze this world has put on God’s people? Will you share the Gospel with that co-worker? Will you do that which God has commanded us to do? Go ye therefore and preach the Gospel.

TIRED BUT NOT TOO TIRED TO PRAISE JESUS!

Get off your buttocks, there's work to be done!

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Galatians 6:9

While serving in this world we can, at times, grow weary. We can even, at times, want to quit. But let me share this with you child of God—DON’T! Don’t give ear to anyone or anything that would try to convince you to quit, slow down, or give up! Why? Because it’s worth it! It’s worth every dollar you invest, every second spent, and every talent used for His honor and His glory!

JUST FIVE MORE MINUTES

You can rest tomorrow, for there is work to be done today!

Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee. Psalm 116:7

Monday is here again. The alarm clock’s snooze button has been hit at least three times if not more. One eye is glued shut and it doesn’t want to cooperate. Your face is almost a permanent part of the pillow. You question, Do I get up or do I call in sick? Do I roll over and say, “Forget it!” Or do I get up, get ready, and go on in to work?

Child of God, we only have one answer; Just do it. No, don’t roll back over! Get up and go on in. The Lord will sustain you just like He has ever since you began to work. What He did last Monday, He can do again today. So, take that shower, put on that uniform, do your devotions, pray, eat a good breakfast, and head on in. God, may just give you someone that needs to hear the Good News today! Are you ready for it? You can rest tomorrow, for there is work to b e done today!

DO YOU WANT A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP INSTEAD OF NIGHTMARES?

A sleeping pill will never take the place of a clear conscience. –Cantor

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 1 Peter 5:7

I’m not sure about you but there have been times in my life that I couldn’t get much sleep. There was such a burden about a situation it consumed my thought life. Waking up in the middle of the night with those very thoughts on my mind became almost an every night event. They affected me physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Sometimes the problem was conscience sin I had committed, at other times it was the sin of not trusting the Lord while in a difficult circumstance. Over the course of those times I have found, time and time again, the best place for me to be was on my knees. On my knees praying for forgiveness, on my knees begging for God to intervene, on my knees asking God to move mountains that only He could move.

Child of God, be reminded of this awesome truth this morning, “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13

With God’s mercy comes one of the best night’s sleep a man, woman, boy, or girl can have!
