Wake Up O Sleeper

I understand those who want to protest the death of George Floyd, but I find it suspicious that their protests are scheduled to take place in darkness. Unlike Dr. Martin Luther King, who protested unmasked and in broad daylight, today’s purported protesters are cloaked in darkness. Paul said, “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: “Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you” (Eph 5:8-14 NIV).
