God vs. Sleep

This may be more of a teenager thing, but for me I know there are mornings, most mornings in fact, that when my alarm goes off I don't want to get up because I was up too late the night before. Well it so happens that in the morning is the best time for me to get into God's word and talk to Him.

In the morning my mind is more fresh, can think better, and is less distracted. Also there is nothing like being able to talk to God, the creator of everything, and being able to learn from what He says.

The thing is none of this happens if when my alarm goes off I don't get up, turn my light on, and start to read the Bible. I'm sure most of us have struggled with this at some point. Do we get up and talk to God  or do we get some more "needed" sleep?

A few weeks ago I was struggling with getting up early enough to talk to my maker. Then one day as I was driving it hit me, I'm comparing spending time with God to getting a little bit more sleep. Does it make sense that if I were to make an actual list of what is most important in my life based off of my daily actions God and maybe thirty extra minutes of sleep would be quite close?

I find that fact pathetic. What that pretty much means is based off of my actions I would rather do nothing and sleep a little than spend time with God.

I don't know about you, but I wonder if we all do the same thing, but in different ways. Do we do something of little importance instead of spending time with God? Are we going to do something about that? Is spending time with God and getting to know Him most important in your life? We should realize that spending time with God is profoundly so much more important, live changing, and exciting than spending a few more minutes asleep.
