Wake Up!

Wake up! Ever been sleeping really well just to get woke up by something annoying like: the telophone ringing, bird on the window, dogs barking, etc...? We have these squirrels that land on our roof and run across it that sometimes FREAKS me out! The thing is that if I'm already awake it doesn't even bother me. It's the same with Christ! We are spiritually asleep and anytime something small and harmless comes against us it FREAKS us out, but if we were spiritually AWAKE then we wouldn't let us bother us! All too often we find ourselves spiritually asleep, and we need to WAKE UP!!! Revelation 16:15 says, "Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed." Of course this is coming about the coming of the Lord, but we as the church need to wake up so that we can see all that God has for us! Not only should we stay awake, but stay prepared..."keeps clothes with him"...keep our spiritual armor with us and ready to fight the spiritual battles!
