Turn the TV off and gaze at Me instead
I have much to tell you of things that lay ahead
Programs you are listening to have dulled what I say
Now you barely hear Me, so how can you obey?

The precious time I gave you can’t be used again
You need to have more discipline in your regimen
Tell Me, what kind of army can win a war that way?
An army without discipline is in disarray

You have much authority when you use My Name
I want to send you forth, My gospel to proclaim
Take up your cross and follow Me as you hear My voice
Your many future victories will cause you to rejoice

Matthew 10:38–39 – “ Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.”

Revelation 3:1–3 – “To the angel of the church in Sardis write:
These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. 2 Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God. 3 Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.”

Matthew 10
Revelation 3:1–6, 14–22

I have found myself watching too much TV and internet shows lately. Deep inside of me I know I should be reading God’s Word more than I do. Yes, I know I need more discipline in my life. God’s Word has convicted me. Lord, please help me to hear Your voice and follow You.
