Every Moment is Wake Up Time

Daily writing prompt
What time do you go to bed and wake up currently?

Life can easily be lived in a sort of sleepwalking state — going through outward motions but not being fully aware of and awake to what is happening within and around you. Every moment is a good time to wake up from that dazed and blurred existence. How?

Hear what God’s Spirit is saying, even when He asks you things like, “Why do you persecute Me?” Jesus’ sheep listen to His inner voice. “Get up and go to . . . There you will be told all that you are assigned to do.” Surrender your will to Christ’s Lordship (His absolute authority). Throughout each day go and do what He tells you to.

Jesus want’s you in His will more than you want to be in His will. If you will humbly and continually listen to and obey His heart promptings, the Good Shepherd will speak in your inner being and personally lead you and keep you in His will. Hearing the risen Jesus speak revelation knowledge in your heart surpasses human understanding. Rely on Him, not on your own knowledge.

Life’s a great gift! Be filled with gratitude for each breath. ““This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to Him.” Put to bed your guilt and shame, your worries and fears. Wake up to Christ’s glorious gift of forgiveness and inner peace.

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
