“If He comes suddenly, do not let Him find you sleeping.” -Mark 13:36
You ever have that morning? You know, the one when it’s time to get up, the alarm goes off, and you just can’t seem to make yourself move? Then you remember; the SNOOZE button!! “I can sleep 5 more minutes.” I had one today. Problem was, in my slumber state, I hit the wrong button. I hit the one that says “off”. The next thought (20 minutes later) is,”OH SHOOT!!!”. What about the “Life Snooze” button? Do you ever hit it? “I need to call that person.” (snooze) “I need to pay that bill.” (snooze) “I need to mend that relationship.” (snooze) “I need to pray.” (snooze) “I need to read my Bible.” (snooze) You get the point. We all do it. What if God snoozed on us? We always want Him to act immediately but we are so quick to hit that button when He calls. I have always been a procrastinator. One of my goals for 2015 is to quit hitting that button so often and just get things done. And friends, we can’t afford to keep snoozing when it comes to our spiritual life. His Word tells us that there is no promise for tomorrow. He tells us, in a variety of ways, to take care of business! Not tomorrow but today. So, forget the snooze button. Make good on that promise. Forgive that wrong doing. Mend that relationship. Read that daily scripture. Spend time in prayer. And, if you have never done so, ask Him for forgiveness. Make Him Lord of your life. For we do not know the hour that He will come! “Do not let Him find you sleeping.” TIME TO WAKE!
