August 27, Evening
What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise.
[Jon.1:6]
This is not your rest: ... it is polluted, it shall destroy you. ■ Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. ■ If riches increase, set not your heart upon them. ■ Set your heart and your soul to seek your God: arise therefore.
[Mic.2:10 | Col.3:2 | Psa.62:10 | I Chr.22:19]
Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. ■ Take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
[Luke.22:46 | Luke.21:34]
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. ■ Yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. ■ Now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. ■ Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: lest coming suddenly he finds you sleeping.
[Matt.25:5 | Heb.10:37 | Rom.13:11 | Mark.13:35,36]
