Awake Oh Sleeper!

Recently I have spent a lot of time with people who sleep... A Lot!
Sleeping to the point that they have literally only been awake for maybe 4 or 5 hours in the day.

Now there is nothing wrong with sleep, it is something God has given to us to enable our bodies to function during the day. However, sleep can become an issue when you use it to escape from the world.

You may be thinking how is this person spending time with sleepers? Technically I'm not spending time with them because they are asleep. However, living in close quarters I have been doing my work around these sleeping people.

Here's the problem. When you sleep for so many hours in the day that you don't eat or interact with others there is a problem. This causes your relationships strain. Take it from someone who is up all day. I would love to socialise with you sleeper, but I can't. You are asleep.

Sleep is good but when you do too much of it you miss out on al the wonderful things God has made for us to enjoy. Like the sunshine, the sounds of birds outside and the sound of the beautiful rain we've had lately. You miss out on meal sharing with those who love you. You're life and your chores pile up to the extent that they are overwhelming. You also become a burden to those you live with.

Treat sleep respectfully. Use it as God intended. As something to enable you body to rest and recuperate so you can get on with life.


Do not sleep to excess people. How can you call that living? Do you really think by sleeping all your problems and struggles will fix themselves? Do you think that life will improve if you let is slip by? Is your dream land better than this world God has created for us?

Awake oh you sleeper. For God has many blessing for you in the day. He wants to love you and you to enjoy this world. And yes bad things will happen and life will be hard. But with God life is here to enjoy. So awake and be a blessing to the world!


Luke 22:46
"Why are you sleeping?" He asked them. "Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation."

Remember we follow a God who loves us and who has overcome sin. So do not worry but live a life to serve him.

Many Blessings!
