In 1960 the country of Surinam had only one entry in the Olympics. For four years their athlete had trained for the 800-meter run. He was entered in the trial heat. He didn’t win. In fact, he didn’t even run. He slept through the event. Think of it! He slept through the most important event of his life.
Christians are in danger of letting something like that happen to us. We are living in the most important and exciting days in human history. We must not be found asleep. Satan specializes in giving Christians spiritual morphine. Morphine doesn’t make anyone well. It just puts them at ease while they are sick or dying. If the devil can cause the sleep of indifference to come upon Christian people, then he has accomplished his purpose.
Christians, wake up! Get active in your church. Share your faith with other people. Live the Christian life day by day. Imitate Jesus who went about doing good. Get involved and let God use you to be a blessing to others.
