As I awoke to hit the alarm off this morning, laying there, half asleep in disbelief that 5am had made its appearance; I wondered why I had not considered hitting the snooze button. Then, I had the dreadful thought to tinker with the idea of just dozing off for a few more minutes, but quickly realized the devastating effects that could have for the start of the new day.

At that moment, The Spirit of God interrupted my thoughts saying, ” It’s time to stop hitting the ‘snooze button'”.  “Many have repeatedly hit the snooze button on hopes, dreams, plans and prayers.” They are standing in their own way”.  Then I heard Him say to turn to Ephesians 5.

Ephesians 5:14, “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

It’s time to hit that alarm off, for it indeed it is time and stand!  Move forward and the Lord will direct your steps.  You desire to know the details first, but with each step, faith and grace will be activated and the Lord will make known to you the way.

Hebrews 11:8, “By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.”

As you arise, the glory light of God will bring life to those things around you which lay dormant.  Do not allow fear of failure to frighten you to a stand still. Be sure of the love and goodness of God! Jesus is the Way, The Truth and The Life – He will make known to you the ways of life!  Time to get up! It’s a new day!
