Ephesians 5:8-14
What an appropriate text for the Sunday of Daylight Savings Time
change! "Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
Yes, you lost an hour of sleep last night and facing the morning is indeed
challenging. But Paul reminds us, even in the immediate aftermath of DST, that
there is reason to get up, for the light of Christ shines on you. Yes, you once
were in darkness, but the light of Christ shines in the darkness, and as we said
yesterday, the darkness cannot overcome it.
So, don't give
in to the momentary deprivation of sleep...throw open the windows and step into
the bright light of Christ. Shake off the sleepiness and allow yourself to
adjust again this morning to the bright hope we have as children of the Light.
Rejoice and give thanks for this day that God has made!
Prayer:
Overcome the darkness with your glorious light today, Lord. Shine through us.
Amen.
