With so many people dying on a daily basis, how can we insist on staying sleeping?

  • “How long will you sleep, O sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to lie down; so shall your poverty come as one who travels, and your need like an armed man.” (Proverbs 6.9-11).

Who are us? Are we of the light or of the murkiness?

  • “*This also, knowing the time, that it is already time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we 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. Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in carousings and drinking; not in co-habitation and lustful acts; not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not take thought beforehand for the lusts of the flesh.” (Romans 13.11-14);
  • “*But you, brothers, are not in darkness, that the Day should overtake you like a thief. You are all the sons of light and the sons of the day*. We are not of the night, or of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep as the rest do, but let us watch and be calm. For those sleeping sleep in the night, and those being drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be calm, having put on the breastplate of faith and love and the hope of salvation for a helmet.” (1Thess 5.4-8).

Muse on this, tomorrow we will continue.
