Awake - Ephesians 5:13-14

Ephesians 5:13-14 ESV 

But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says,

“Awake, O sleeper,

and arise from the dead,

and Christ will shine on you.”

Isaiah 26:19 ESV 

Your dead shall live; their bodies shall rise.

You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy!

For your dew is a dew of light,

and the earth will give birth to the dead.

We are born in the shadow of death when we enter the world. This is the state Adam fell to when he died to the Lord. He returned to the earth from which he was taken. The ground was cursed. 

We dwell in the dust of the earth until the dew from heaven falls to us and awakens us to the life of God. The dew of light moistens us with the refreshing waters of the Holy Spirit.
