A
few months ago, I was lying in bed debating whether or not I should go to
church the next day. I didn’t want to get up early and I just wanted to sleep
in. [I rarely have days off so when I do I take full advantage of it]. So,
one Sunday rolled around, then another
Sunday rolled around, and then so on. I would wake up around 10:30 A.M. and could make it in time,
but I never felt like going. I always found myself feeling guilty about it too.
I would try to play it cool and brush it off like God understands, but then one day it hit me. The week of birthday I
was debating on going to church once
again. I began thinking about those days when I just didn’t feel like going
because I was too tired and wanted to sleep in. I thought to myself what if Jesus got too tired to answer our prayers, what if HE just wanted to sleep in and didn’t
feel like blessing us, or what if he
went days, months, or even years
without blessing us and answering our
prayers. Some of us are so quick to call on HIM when we go through things, but we can’t even get our lazy behinds up out of bed on a Sunday
morning and praise him after a full
week of our normal day lives. [Now if you work on Sunday by all means that is understandable]. We’re
so busy forgetting who was the
reason for a successful week that what if.. We were on the edge of losing a loved one??? We’re going to
immediately run to GOD right? Ask HIM to heal our loved ones? Watch over them? Tables are turned.. what if HE says “Ra’chel I don’t
feel like healing your loved ones today. I might not wake up in time to answer
your prayers. I want to go out on Saturday night and just sleep in on Sunday.”
Do you know how you would feel if the only MAN
that can bless you and has the answers to it all turns you down? If you don’t know by now our GOD is an awesome GOD. Even with the things we do and don’t feel like doing HE still makes time to make sure we’re
blessed. I’m throwing all my sleep in Sunday’s
away and GIVING them to GOD. I had a conversation with my best
friend and I got him to choose GOD
to over his sleep in Sunday’s. It’s
all about sacrificing the little
things. JESUS died for us to get us
where we are today. So with that new job,
paycheck every week/two weeks, good grades, graduation, new car, new house, and etc. REMEMBER it was all HIM. So I’m giving away my sleep in
Sunday’s to JESUS CHRIST. How far will you go to sacrifice for the LORD??
