Every morning there is a battle that goes on in my soul. A tough, war-like battle wages against me, never failing, at 7:00a.m. This battle is none other than the battle to wake up in the morning! I know I'm not the only one that struggles with getting up and getting started with your day. There are days when I hate it and I start debating on whether or not I should wake up. Most of the time I fight the urge to sleep in, but every now and then I give in and begin to slowly close my eyes, with every intent on staying awake, but no willpower to do it. The last time I gave in, I woke up at a time where it would have been impossible to get to school on time. It was too late!
The Lord began speaking to me parobollically through this. He said to warn people that when you awake out of your spiritual slumber and you are awakened with the knowledge of God, stay awake and don't give the devil any ground by shutting your eyes even for a "few minutes." Because if you do begin to flirt with the devil, let your guard down, and close your spiritual eyes for a little while, by the time you wake up, it may be to late.
So I encourage anyone who has begun to close your eyes. Wake up! Don't let the enemy beat you, fight that urge to sin, and brace yourself to be a part of the army of the Lord!
