Something is wrong

How many times have I tried to get out of bed on time in the morning? How many times have I given in and hit that snooze button?

Something is wrong with us men. But on a deeper level, I truly wonder if it is Satan himself or one of his demons that whispers to us when that alarm goes off? Urging us to stay in bed. To stay comfortable.

The Lord Jesus Christ calls us to be fully alive. To wake up each day with with passion, with joy, ready to serve him once again.

I’m not saying we have to leap out of bad, put on a fake happy face, and never be a little grumpy in the morning. Nor am I saying it is never ok to sleep in. What I am saying is that we should not have a daily routine of losing the first battle of the day. The battle to wake up and be ready to serve the Lord.

Maybe you have been feeling like one thing needs to change in your life. Maybe you feel like you’re in a rut. This one thing would be a great place to start. Immediately when the alarm goes off, plant your feet on the floor and thank the Lord for another day. We are called to be warriors for Christ and His Church. Well then, let us wake up like warriors, not like lazy deadbeats.

God bless you every day!
