You Snooze You Lose

“Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.” Eph 5:14
Yesterday morning the news anchor said, “Good Morning! I know you’re hitting that snooze button one more time but it’s time to get up!”
I have never hit the snooze button in my life!
I wonder why it’s even there.
If you have to get up at 5am, why would you hit the snooze button 2 or 3 times and get up at 530?
Why not just sleep until 530; set your alarm for that time?
I set my alarm for the time I need to get up, not for 20 or 30 minutes before that.
The thing is, I have been getting up at 430am so long, for so many years, that I just naturally wake up at that time.
Even in the summer when our church goes to camp, I can be found in the cafeteria drinking coffee by 5am.
Now, are you hitting the snooze alarm when it comes to spiritual things?
You know you need to be reading your Bible, but do you keep hitting that snooze alarm and putting it off and off and off?
You know you need to be praying more but do you also hit the snooze for that?
It is written, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Rom 13:11-12
Quit hitting the snooze on your God-clock.
It’s time to get up and get about the Father’s business.

  1. Tim, I was impressed by this post as back in December I “got” this same message from prayer and reading the Word. I was so impressed that I recorded the main part of what I got. It was this,” We must be about the Fathers business” Just wanted you to know you hit this one on the head.
