Thought for Today: “Shaken and Awakened”

God has called us to faithfully discharge the duty of being His witnesses to a lost and dying world. This is in the Great Commission given to us by Jesus.

He said, “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” (Matthew 28:19-20)

But before the church can arise and shake the world for the Lord, it must bring back the truth of God’s word. The church needs to make the declaration to, “Tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help us God.”

The church needs to be shaken and awakened by the whole counsel of God’s word, not what we want it to say, or what feels good. The Lord will never heal our country until the church becomes healed and becomes shaken and awakened what God has called for it to be; the salt and light of this world (Matthew 5:13-16).
