Wake the Hell Up

An Open Invite

The hour has come for you to wake from sleep.

Romans 13:11

Hear me out — I’m pretty certain Paul would have had some choice words out of our lexicon if he were writing to us today.

I’m not trying to be crude; I want to impress on you the validity of the idea, though.

I get a bit lost sometimes-thinking scripture is outdated or not applicable to modern life. It helps to douse myself in stark language that matches the intent of the scripture with the ears of today’s audience.

The night is gone; the day is here.

Get busy living or get busy dying.

There comes a time in your life — a decision point, if you will…and there will be many.

But there are big ones. Ones of particular lucidity.

When you’re presented with the option to continue into more of the same. To pull the covers of addiction or vice up to your chin and drift back into a pleasant dream. Isn’t this where we’re used to being? Where we’re comfortable?

Or, we can meet the dawn’s brisk air, wake the hell up and start living.

It’s an open invitation.
