Romans 13:11 Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.
Today a bit of change from minor prophets. This verse has struck me as a wake-up call. “Wake from sleep” “Nearer to us now than when we first believed “the day is at hand” and “let us walk properly as in the daytime” When we allow the world to influence us and cast a shadow over our walk with Christ, we walk in darkness. We are not exposing ourselves to His Word and we are hiding from the light. When we walk in the light we are able to more clearly see and navigate this world appropriately. Our conduct is exposed to His Word because we are seeking to be in the light of it. We begin and continue to mature and understand what it means to live in this world as a light for others to see Jesus Christ.
