#SpiritualSunday Reflection
Awake, O’ Zion!
Today, as I reflect on these powerful lyrics from “Awake O’ Zion” by Twinkie Clark, rerecorded by Donald Lawrence in tribute to Twinkie Clark featuring J Moss and Daniel Weatherspoon, I’m reminded of the deep spiritual journey I’ve been on.
Put on thy strength, O’ Zion
Awake, awake, awake
Put on thy strength”
These words resonate with me as I’ve been diving into the Bible in its original Hebrew form, seeking to understand its unfiltered, authentic meaning. It’s been a profound experience, unveiling the layers of wisdom and insight within the scriptures.
“Shake thyself
From the dust of the ground
Sit down
Shake thyself
From the dust
Sit down”
As I’ve delved into the Hebrew text, I’ve learned to shake off the dust of complacency and embrace the profound truths within. It’s a call to awaken our spiritual strength, to put on the armor of faith, and to live in alignment with our divine purpose.
“Let us wake in the face
Of the truth of thy way
O’ Zion, O’ Zion, Zion, Zion, Zion”
In this journey, I’ve discovered that awakening is not just about knowledge; it’s about living in the truth and light of God’s way. It’s about being a beacon of love, compassion, and righteousness in our world.
“Take this shield of faith
And knock em’ away
Take the breastplate
Of righteousness”
As I continue to read the Bible in Hebrew, I’m reminded of the importance of faith and righteousness. These qualities empower us to face life’s challenges with grace and courage.
“O’ O’ O’ O’ Zion, put on thy strength”
So, today, I encourage all of us to awaken our spiritual strength, to seek truth, and to embrace faith and righteousness in our lives. Let us be the Zion, the shining city on a hill, that inspires and uplifts others through our actions and love.
