“Awaken! Arise! Shine! Do Not Sit Back but Go Forth!” August 23, 2024

Morning by Morning Daily Prayer Journey with Tommy Hays

“Awaken! Arise! Shine! Do not sit back but go forth! Do not hide away but shine forth! My people are My light in this world. My people are created and called to awaken, arise, and shine! For the darkness of this world shall not overcome the Light of My glory--not in My people, not in this world.” ...

To confirm what I believe I hear and “test all things” to “hold fast” to what is good and true (1 Thessalonians 5:21), this Word of Your Scripture comes to mind immediately:

“For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. Therefore He says:

‘Awake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead,
And Christ will give you light.’

“See then that you walk carefully, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil” (Ephesians 5:8-16).

Written and sent out from the morning prayer time of Tommy Hays each day.
God bless you and may you have a great day!
