Nope, it's almost 4 a.m. I have class at 8 a.m. and I am NOT asleep. This question goes deeper though are we in a spiritual sleep? 1 Thessalonians 5:6 says "So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober." Paul is giving us a spiritual wake-up call. We are to be set apart from the world. We need to be telling others about Jesus and not be sleeping on our job. Right now I am so sleepy but can not fall asleep, I can hardly think, and will probably want to delete this post tomorrow. I also know that tomorrow I am going to walk around in a fog, I am going to drink enough caffeine to get me through class, and then come home and take a nap.
Who is asleep? Non-Christians and those who have accepted Christ but have taken a little snooze. WAKE-UP! JESUS is coming and we need to be prepared and we need to prepare others. If you have become weary in doing good cling to, Galatians 6:9 "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
So maybe you have found yourself asleep or you are being tempted to fall asleep remember that Jesus died on the cross for you and me and that he rose 3 days later and is alive and at the right hand of the Father. Remember that you have been given a calling and you agreed to that calling when you accepted Christ. It's time for operation wake up call!
In Christ,
Jen
