Luke 21:36 ESV "But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man."It could have been much worse! Today we are told to stay awake at all times and pray that we have the strength to escape the things that are going to take place. It was many years ago when I was young and foolish, that I took a ride when I was exhausted and needed to sleep. I was on my way home from a long weekend when all of a sudden I heard a thumping on my vehicle.  No sooner did I realized that I had fallen asleep and was running along the side of the road and hitting the side markers. Realizing what had happened, I pulled over and slept. We need to use wisdom and realize that we need to be aware of our energy level and when it gets low, we need to rest and recharge. There are things that are going to take place where we will need the Lord's Strength to get us through so let's stay awake and be alert rather than cause damage by our tiredness! peace, tom
