Awaken old sleeper Brush it off and live from above. Do not let trouble, trouble you because you will find yourself sleeping. Wake up, and put on Christ because we live from above. We are seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. We are spiritual beings and live in a physical body. We learn to live from the spirit by the Spirit of God who teaches us how to live in the spirit. Romans 8:16 says The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God… When it comes to the troubles of our lives these are temporary in the eyes of our salvation and our eternal security. Luke 21:34 But watch yourselves, or your hearts will be weighed down by dissipation, drunkenness, and the worries of life--and that day will spring upon you suddenly like a snare. Scripture for thought Romans 13:10-12 Put On Christ Love does no wrong to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. And do this, understanding the occasion. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day has drawn near. So let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.… Mark 13:1-37 Mark 13:36-37 Therefore keep watch, because you do not know when the master of the house will return—whether in the evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or in the morning. 36Otherwise, he may arrive without notice and find you sleeping. 37And what I say to you, I say to everyone: Keep watch!”… Mark 14:37-40 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour? … Proverbs 6:9-11 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? … Proverbs 24:33-34 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep. We are confident. We have hope because our life is hidden in Christ with God. Work on remaining in Christ's love.
