Get Up and Get Going

Read Romans 13-16

Romans 13:12 says, "The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light."  When it’s hard to get out of bed on a work day morning, I promise myself that I’ll sleep in on the weekend.  But then when the weekend comes and the daylight surrounds me, it seems too wasteful the lie in bed when there’s so much to do.

We have light bulbs and electricity so we don’t need to wait for daylight to be able to see well.  Still, there’s something about sunshine and day time that energizes us and doesn’t happen at night, no matter how well lit our area is.

God encourages us to work for His kingdom while we have his light shining on us, in us, and through us.  When we open our hearts to Him, He will energize us to accomplish whatever He has given us to do.

Tomorrow’s reading: 1 Corinthians 1-3
