yesterday i went to sunday school, and we were discussing about "worship"
Uncle simon asked us, "how do you worship in spirit?"
I shared about how i think PHYSICAL AWAKEDNESS is really important. Sometimes we don't understand the importance of sleep. I've come to a realization of how the lack of sleep i get can affect so much of me. I couldn't worship with full focus because i'm just so sleepy, i fall asleep during sermon, i nap when i'm studying, my eyes are sore, i'm having breakouts, i can get cranky, i sometimes sleep in. Worship is not just about the worship on sunday, we're worshipping the Lord 24/7 right? How are we living our lives when we're not even fulfilling our most basic physiological need- sleep?
I am somewhat phobic to not enough sleep because my dad once told me that a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of his was a super workaholic and once he didnt' sleep for 4 days straight. The next day he was playing basketball (i think he should've went to sleep instead), and suddenly he just collapsed and died, and it was because of overexhaustion. Man after i heard that i got chills. Why? because i didnt' know how important sleep was!
Us university students alwasy talk about sleepless nights when we have to cram cram cram, study study study, there's not enought ime. But we need to make time for SLEEP.
We need to worship Him, and he gave us rest for a reason.
You know what's cool? Roxanne's mom sleeps at 7-8pm. That's cool. I wish i could sleep so early, hahaha.
My point is, we need to take that time to rest, not only is it important and necessary, having enough rest in itself is a worship to the Lord because it shows that we are taking care of his creation. to answer uncle simon's question, if we want to worship in spirit, we need to get enough rest so we can be physically able to put all our energy into worship. (i'm starting to be really redudant, notice how i said the word "worship" 4x already, including the "worship" in the quotes. oop. now it's 5.)
