Wake Up!
Most nights after supper, I kick back in my super-comfy LazyBoy to watch a little tv. The man who handles the remote pulls up something off the playlist. Then my nightly battle begins.
Awake. Asleep. Awake. Wondering what happened. Asleep. Awake. Trying to stay that way this time. But no. Asleep again.
And so it goes until I finally give up and go to bed.
Because I keep drifting off, sometimes I miss what happens on my favorite shows. Of course, it really doesn't matter all that much. It can always be rewound.
Sleeping my way through life is a different matter.
Disengaged, uninterested, uninvolved. That's a recipe for disaster. There is no rewind button for life no matter how much we wish for it.
So, wake up. Rise and shine. It's a new day, and joy is waiting.
"Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your deeds complete in the sight of my God." Revelation 3:2
"Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." Ephesians 5:14
"This is the day that the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24
