It’s time to WAKE UP!

I love it when Nephi said: “Awake, my soul!”

This has always resonated with me because it is SO EASY to become apathetic.

To get caught up in the mundane tasks, and the to-do lists, and even the fun stuff.

But is my soul really awake?

Or am I numbing it every chance I get and filling all my time with… stuff?

Time to watch a show, but no time to open my Gospel Library app and ponder on a few verses.

Or even when I am involved in good, fun things, am I engaged?

Is my soul awake?

This is the message the Lord wanted Enoch to take to the people, too!

“Say unto this people: Choose ye this day, to serve the Lord God who made you.” (Moses 6:33)

Wake up!

Make the choice today, and every single day.

Find a way to serve God, and then do it.

It’s such an empowering sentiment, right?

When it’s tempting to complain because of XYZ that happened at church today, or to judge and talk about others, or to be overwhelmed by how much has to get done…

That’s the easy stuff. That’s the path of least resistance.

It takes decision-making, courage, and devotion to actually choose to love the Lord today.

And then to serve Him in some way.

Serve Him by adding more love into your home today.

Serve your spouse in a new way.

Text a friend who is dealing with something rough.

Read a few scriptures and say a prayer of gratitude.

Listen to a talk and resolve to try something new this week as a result.

Create something beautiful.

Learn more about someone who you think is very different from you and feel God’s love for them.

The possibilities are endless, and we can choose new things each day!

Is your soul awake today?

Wake up, choose the Lord, and serve Him by adding more goodness to the world!

Happy Studying!
