ARISE | Jan. 11

Arise and shake off spiritual lethargy. This is a call to get up from that face-down place where circumstances, discouragement, and the noise of the world try to keep us stuck. Darkness may cover the earth, but we belong to a different kingdom. Greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). The key to rising is hunger for God—not passive interest, but a deep desire for His presence, His Word, and His purposes. That hunger keeps us humble, moves us from self-focused living to serving others, and positions us to bring real transformation to our homes, cities, and nation. The answer isn’t waiting for things to change around us—it’s choosing to arise and let God work through surrendered, hungry hearts.
