While you were sleeping - while we're lieing in the dark there's a shout
heard across the eastern sky. For the bridegroom has returned and has
carried his bride away in the night.
I was listening to this song randomly when it started speaking to me.
(I'm a big fan of Casting Crowns.) As I heard this part to America that
brought back memories of camp. In the bible it states that we are the brides
of Christ, and yes that includes the guys. As that bride of Christ we are
devoting ourselves to Christ. In the song it asks us if we will sleep
through the night that he comes. In our world today we can be distracted by
so many things. As we go through our life after we first claim Christ we can
fall away. Soon we stop listening or talking to him. He tries to get our
attention but we just ignore him. We can get so lost that we sleep through
the time he comes for us. We will have missed our chance to be great for
him. Let's try to stay awake so that we can see the ways that we can make a
difference.
God Bless!!!
