The idiom, wake up and smell the coffee, is used when someone is misdirected or uninformed and may need encouragement to re-think a possible stance. Personally, I enjoy a good cup of coffee in the morning. It doesn't have to be Starbucks; my Kuerig One-Cuper makes a fine cup. The aromatic smell of coffee, itself, got me started. I just finished a Guatemalan Coffee Pods pack and want to keep the package just to smell it. If you google coffee-history, you'll find words like Ethiopia, monastery, the 15th century, and lively birds. Obviously, another topic for another time.
In a recent conversation with a friend, over a cup of coffee, she shared that she was a Christian (sort of), but didn't know if she believed in this heaven/hell stuff. I stifled a wince. I have recently been reading/listening to a Beth Moore Bible study on Daniel. Yes, the Daniel of-the-Lion's-den. You may remember that Daniel interpreted King Nebuchanezzar's dream. This dream covered the times to come for them and for us. Thousands of years of history have recorded the fulfillment of this prophecy. Who are we to think that the rest would not possibly come true?
Yes, God's kingdom will come and fill the whole earth.
Wake up and smell the coffee!
