The Snooze Button

The Snooze Button

It could be safe to say that there’s a real love hate relationship that takes place in homes across the world every morning. It’s the love of sleep and the hatred of the alarm clock. 

How do these two realities coexist? The snooze button. 

But there in lies the problem for anyone who seeks success in Christ, as well as worldly success. An unhealthy love for sleep will cost you more than you want to pay.

Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you into a disciplined life in which sleep has a place but no power. There should not be a fight in the morning for you to wake up. There is real loss when your love for sleep keeps you from doing what God has called you to do. 

Live a disciplined life in which sleep is a tool that allows your body to be rejuvenated so you may effectively share this gospel. Don’t allow it to be an idol that thwarts your ability to serve God. Here’s today’s Bible verse. Enjoy. 

Proverbs 20:13

13 Do not love sleep or you will grow poor; stay awake and you will have food to spare.
