Rescue Us From Our Slumber
Oh, Lord, come rescue us from our slumber! Awaken us to see You as You make Yourself seen! Don't let us miss what you are doing!
We get caught up in distractions. We get caught up in ourselves. We get caught up in deception. So many traps to tell!
But, if we pause and LOOK UP for just a moment, if we humble ourselves and turn our ear to Your instruction, we will SEE what You are doing, we will KNOW it plain as day! You will make it obvious to us how You feel and what You think about each and every day! You desire to show Yourself and make Yourself seen. You won't hide Yourself from Your sheep!
So rescue us, Lord, from our slumber! Awaken us to see You! Oh, let us not miss it, for great would our regret be. OH LORD, awaken us as You make Yourself seen!
Some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples [for shouting these Messianic praises].” Jesus replied, “I tell you, if these [people] keep silent, the stones will cry out [in praise]!” [Hab 2:11]
As He approached Jerusalem, He saw the city and wept over it [and the spiritual ignorance of its people], saying, “If [only] you had known on this day [of salvation], even you, the things which make for peace [and on which peace depends]! But now they have been hidden from your eyes. For a time [of siege] is coming when your enemies will put up a barricade [with pointed stakes] against you, and surround you [with armies] and hem you in on every side, [Is 29:3; Jer 6:6; Ezek 4:2] and they will level you to the ground, you [Jerusalem] and your children within you. They will not leave in you one stone on another, all because you did not [come progressively to] recognize [from observation and personal experience] the time of your visitation [when God was gracious toward you and offered you salvation].”
