Just Woke Up

Woke is a slang term that means being aware of and sensitive to social and racial injustices. Enlightened, so to speak.
There are many people on this planet that consider themselves awake and aware of everything around them, and yet they are blind to the things of the Lord. Scriptures remind us that God's presence fills creation, but only His children are truly aware of Him around them.
We live in a society of those who are enlightened, progressive and highly intelligent. However, they are completely oblivious to the all-consuming grace and mercy of Jesus Christ.
Christ Followers are the only ones in this world that are truly "woke." We are reborn and alive forever through Christ. I believe it is time for Christians to have a wake-up call. Look around and see the lost around you. They need to be made aware of God and His love for them.
Romans 13:11 (KJV) And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
Woke is a slang term, so because I heard about it and have used it as a subject for a blog post, that means that "woke" is officially over.
You're welcome.

Notable Quote:
I have this feeling that our world is filled with burning bushes. God is not out there, somewhere. He is here. He is near. He is as close to us as our very breath. So the question is not, “Where is God in this world?” The more important question is, “Are we living fully awake, fully aware of the presence of God in our world?”--Mike DeVries
