“When the light shines, it exposes even the dark and shadowy things and turns them into pure reflections of light. This is why they sing: Awake, you sleeper! Rise from your grave, and the Anointed One will shine on you.” (Ephesians 5:14 VOICE)
My bedroom windows have blackout curtains to prevent the morning light from waking me up before I am ready to get up. Most days, even after I am up, I don’t bother to open these curtains. Why?
Habit: I have grown accustomed to the low light.
Comfort: The natural light can feel glaring at times.
Laziness: I can’t be bothered to open the curtains in the morning and close them back again in the evening. It’s easier to turn the light switches on and off as needed.
I have noticed a similar reluctance in my soul. I sense the Spirit of God is dormant within me, yet I am not in any big hurry to let the light in. A combination of habit, comfort, and laziness lulls me into remaining groggy. When the light shines, it exposes dark and shadowy things. This can be uncomfortable. I am accustomed to living in low light and am too lazy to change.
The light of God is shining. It is time for the dormant Spirit within me to awaken. All I have to do is remove the barriers, rise, and receive. As my soul absorbs the anointing, every shadow within me shall be turned into a pure reflection of light.
