February 4

As a part of my freedom maintenance, I trek into the woods away from my everyday routine to have some quiet time with the Lord. It’s amazing the details He will show you when you open your eyes and observe the things around you. As I walked to the area I felt Him calling me to, I noticed many things along the way and I will be sharing them throughout the next few days. The most obvious thing I noticed was roosters crowing. They were quite obnoxious! The message in this is very obvious; I felt like He was saying wake up! This was not just a warning for me, but a warning for all to be vigilant and make the best use of our time. We must be careful not to waste it by becoming a partner with the unfruitful works of darkness, but expose it to the light of Jesus. If you’re toying around with things connected to the dark side, it’s time to acknowledge it, and expose it to Jesus to get rid of it.

for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, "Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."  Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Ephesians 5:14-16
