"How Long Have You Been Sleeping?"

My blog's title Today may give you different weight of connotations. However; if you've been a regular reader or have visited my blog once or twice, you already know that my blog titles are precursors to my spiritual stance. I don't usually expound the subject; I leave that to your wisdom of understanding...

I could have asked, "How long have you slept while I was gone?" But notice the main verb (slept) which is in the past tense. That means that the act of sleeping could be summarized definitively and numerically. But I chose to ask, "How long have you been sleeping" for this is a question I , too, have to ask myself--an ongoing challenge that many of us fall into because our eyes are still not widely open to the things that are of God. Time after time, we consciously fall asleep spiritually and just go with whatever is easy or easier to manage in our life. There are even the ones that just rather sleep and just let the game of chances take over their lives.

Seriously, at one pivotal point of your life even when you're "hustling and bustling" with your share of life's barriers, your eyes should have been fixed on the One who made it all possible for us to be redeemed and saved by His grace. You see, His grace is limitless. It is beyond our human comprehension and that may be we fall asleep many times in our prayer, in our devotion and in our walk because we think that we're not worthy to receive His grace.

God has always made intercession for us. It is for you and me to seek His heart of wisdom and know that Jesus' death at the Cross; that through His blood, our sins are washed away. His death means eternal salvation to us who believe that he is the resurrected King, the son of God and His Holy Spirit dwells in us--to guide us in every way.

He is still "The Great I Am" who has revealed himself from Genesis to the book of Revelation.
It is the greatest journey to come close knowing the God that gives us the Power to love and  forgive; to dare to go to uncharted territories like the prayer of Jabez and lastly; letting Jesus be the Almighty God in our life. 

For if we sleep longer than we shouldn't have, we'll be missing our great ride that bears eternal security. Please don't let your eyes be deceived for "the things that are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. (2 Corinthians 4:18)
And "That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man. 

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path...Psalm 119:105
