Wake up from your Slumber

"Days they force you back under those covers
Lazy mornings, they multiply.
Glory's waiting outside your window
Wake on up from your slumber
And open up your eyes!

All these victims stand in line for
Crumbs that fall from the table
Just enough to get by
All the while Your invitation
Wake on up from your slumber
Come on open up your eyes"
(song: "Slumber" by Need to Breathe)


See what is, read His promises.  Hear and believe!
Why do we allow our minds to talk us out of God's truth?
"Tongues are violent, personal and focused
Tough to beat with your steady mind
But hearts are stronger after broken
So wake on up from your slumber
And open up your eyes"

I have come that you would have life and have it abundantly! (john 10:10)
Why do we say, "oh, that isn't for me." God says, you are my beloved.  I have
counted every hair on your head. I will never leave you or forsake you.  And while
we were still sinners, Jesus came! (not after we fixed ourselves up to be presentable!)

Believers.....believe!           Followers......follow!

If you believe in the promises of God, act like it.  "Wake on up from your slumber, open up your eyes."  If you say you're a Christian, follow Jesus.  "All you victims, stand in line for crumbs that fall from the table, just enough to get by."

We are not victims, but victors in Christ!  Imagine what we as a body of believing, following people could create in our world in His authority.  We don't have to imagine.  God tells us.  If we have the faith of a mustard seed, we can move mountains.  If we believe, then we are in Him and He is in us, just as He is in the Father and the Father is in Him. 

"Glory's waiting outside your window. Wake on up from your slumber, open up your eyes!"

I love this song!  I love many of their songs and highly recommend checking them out! 
We can't allow our minds to talk us out of what we know to be true.  God says what is true.  We believe, regardless of whether or not we understand it. (proverbs)
What are you going to accomplish today?  What Glory is waiting for you to accept the invitation?

How do we compete with our rival thoughts?
"whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things." (phillipians)

For today, think on such things.  Open your eyes.  See the Glory and live boldly.  I can't wait to see all that is waiting outside my window!  Aren't you curious as to what is outside yours?
