Day Fourteen – Waking Up Your Soul
How many of you love waking up in the morning? For most of us, one of the hardest things in life is to wake up and get out of bed. We want to roll over, hit the snooze button and go back to sleep. Experts say not to hit the snooze button and it’s easier to just get up. So today, I say, “WAKE UP” because I would like to share a word about, Waking up Your Soul.’
There are many people who need to “Wake Up” from their lack of interest, their hopelessness and their helplessness. They forget that, in the midst of all of their problems, it is most important or should I say, imperative that their lives be grounded on their faith in Jesus Christ.
How awesome that Jesus’ words written about 2000 years ago, are now for us today!
John 11:11 “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.”
Our soul longs for intimacy with God but so often we settle for substitutes such as: relationships, work, life’s distractions, entertainment and more. If we want to grow our Spiritual lives, we need to awaken our souls. Don’t just say you want a relationship with God, do something about it! We need to have a relationship that is real not a façade. Listen and respond to God’s spirit as he speaks to your soul. Break out of worn-out routines to encounter God in a new and fresh way.
Just as Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, so will He raise you from your spiritual slumber and put a deep desire in your soul to live a life of victory, joy and success in His service!
Here are some scriptures to help awaken your soul:
Please Read: Galatians 5:25, Galatians 5:16, Ephesians 5:14
Today, wake up to the abundance of life burning deep in your soul that has been made possible to you through Jesus Christ! Worship Jesus as the Lord and Savior of your life and commit yourself to living according to His ways. Awaken your soul!
Compose a letter in a form of a prayer, asking God to awaken your soul.
Expect great and mighty things to happen when you awaken your Soul.
