Mark 13:32-37
But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded his porter to watch. Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
Upon reading this, first impulse says, don't fall asleep! On second thought, Is there any proof that I am not sleeping? If I was entirely honest I would have to say, I have buried my talent in the ground! (Matt. 25:18) Is my lamp flickering, or is so nearly extinguished that others can't even tell that it's burning? To continue doing something one must first be doing it! I think the needed call for much of America today is not, stay awake, but, wake up!
