When God Wakes Up!

“Then the Lord awoke as from sleep, as a warrior wakes from the stupor of wine.” 
Psalm 78:65

What will happen when God wakes up?

Even though God is Sovereign and he daily puts our lives in his hand, he sometimes acts like he is sleeping. He remains quiet. He lets people be. He lets fools be fools.

But what will happen when he wakes up?

I was asking this because, in my reading of Psalm 78, there is a point when God gets fed up and as verse 65 puts it, “He will arise like a warrior who was sleeping heavy after a night of drinking.” Have you ever seen a big guy with a hangover? Let me put it this way, they are not nice…at all.

How do you think God feels about our President paying off a porn star, and we are discussing it like it is not big deal? I think God is ashamed of both sides of the political spectrum: On one side they will defend the President no matter what he does, and the other side they will throw their lot in with a porn star just because they hate the President so much.

How do you think God feels about America’s descent into ever deeper sexual deviancy? The mind of humanity is so twisted. I just read a story about a gay man with HIV who purposely had unprotected sex with 20 other men in order to spread the infection…sick! Or producers at the Cannes film festival who boast about movies showing extreme sexual situations in fine detail and yet they are the ones who parade around with #metoo protestors who hate the objectification of women. Which is it?

How do you think God feels about the public discourse on race, guns, war, adultery and every other act of rebellion under the sun?

What will happen when he wakes up?

If you want to consider the Bible’s answer read Psalm 78:66. Does this not move you in the least bit?

It does me.
