This morning, walk through Romans 13:11-14 and are reminded that Advent is a season of waking up — shaking off spiritual sleepiness and remembering what really matters. Paul tells us the night is fading and the day is near, so we’re called to lay aside the things that weigh down our souls — the habits, attitudes, and distractions that make us sluggish and unfocused — and instead “put on the Lord Jesus Christ.” In a season when it’s easy to get wrapped up in busyness, perfection, and consumerism, you encourage us to wake up to God’s grace, live intentionally, and let Christ’s light push back whatever darkness has crept into our hearts. Today is a good day, you say, to let go of what doesn’t matter and live fully awake to the goodness of God.
