![]() "I'm just going downstairs to check up," I answered. When he came out to see what was going on, he realized that I was sound asleep. One night about 12:30 he heard me walking down the steps. ![]() He used to study late at night-he was a night person-sometimes until twelve or one o'clock. I had to walk past his door to go down the stairs. My dad used one of them for his study, and it was right at the top of the steps. When I was a kid, we lived in a two-story house with three bedrooms. It amazes me that people can be sound asleep, yet get out of bed, walk around, and in the morning not remember anything they did. Yet every time they still sit there with their arms folded, in a semi-stupor, letting the powerful, life-changing truths of God's Word go right by them. They may be in a class that goes through the whole Bible in seven years or so, and they've been through it six or seven times. They sit with their arms folded, defying anybody to capture their interest and teach them anything. They've gone to church for years, and may even have perfect Sunday School attendance pins dangling down to their belt buckles, but nobody has ever noticed any basic changes in their lives. I'm afraid that some Christians need that same exhortation in the spiritual realm. Live, love, laugh and be happy." Some people need that encouragement on a daily basis. We've all heard the song that goes like that: "Wake up, wake up, you sleepyhead get up, get up, get out of bed cheer up, cheer up, the sun is red. It would happen periodically when I was a kid, and my mother would come into my room and say, "Wake up, you sleepyhead." It was one of her favorite sayings. I'm a morning person I like to get up and get things going, but sometimes it's hard to wake up. ![]() I don't think I've ever been a lazy person, but once in awhile I find it difficult to wake up and get going in the morning. Purpose: To challenge us to be spiritually awake and alert, and to live a godly life in the midst of this ungodly world system.
