Snooze Button

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Yep, it’s time to get up. How many of you like to hit the snooze button more than you should? Well, sometimes I do. It can be hard to wake up for work or the things we don’t want to do, and sometimes we just are plain tired. But how many of you wake up very easy for something you are looking forward to. A fun day with family or an early morning starting vacation. We usually wake up before our alarms because we can’t contain our excitement.
We can be this same way with God’s word once we realize what it’s there for and why we need to make it a priority every day! Jumping out of bed saying ‘I can’t wait to spend time with God!’ Now it may not be like this every day, but there is something inside us that desires Him. Let’s look at a few scriptures.
Galatians 6:8- Those who live to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest death and decay from that sinful nature (our flesh and our desires) but those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.
We have to feed our spirits and starve our flesh. When we give our spirits what they desire (The Word and time with Him) they begin to grow and override our fleshly sinful desires. Make a consistent effort to give your spirit what it needs every day and I can promise you that a desire will begin to rise up within you. You might just not be hitting that snooze button so much anymore!
