Wake up from your stupor
Matt. 26:40
And He came to the disciples and FOUND THEM SLEEPING, [gave into the natural response to grief and distress of mind]
and He said to Peter, [who had just professed that he was ready to die with Him if need be]
WHAT! [expressing sad disappointment with concern]
Are you so utterly UNABLE TO STAY AWAKE AND KEEP WATCH with Me for one hour? [you don’t have the strength to keep alert and be on guard for a short time, how unlikely it is that you would make it through the greater trials that were coming]
--------------------------
Pray the Word: Lord, these words strike home because we’ve had times that we’ve given into our sorrows, been overwhelmed with our miseries, and almost swallowed up with fear and discouragement. Our eyes have glazed over and our brain has gone dull while we have sleepwalked through parts of our life. We hear Your voice anew today warning us to WAKE UP FROM OUR STUPOR . . . By Your power and strength we will rise above our trials and KEEP ALERT and BE ON OUR GUARD!

Thank you for reading my blog of thoughts, encouragement and instructions the Lord speaks about to me. It is simply my therapy to write down these things as I walk my journey out with Him. I would love to hear back from you. Each new day is a blessing! Dorothy
