Hit the Snooze Button...

Luke 9:29-32a, And as he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became dazzling white. And behold, two men were talking with him, Moses and Elijah, who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep...

Why are the disciples always so sleepy when things of great spiritual import take place?! As usual Christ was praying and the disciples were drifting in dream land. This may be a jab at our spiritually lethargy as humans when God is busy accomplishing great works. How much we miss out on because we are far more concerned with the comfort of the flesh than fighting spiritual battles!

God grant us spiritual alertness in the coming year. May we die to fleshly desires and make Him our priority that we might not fail to see Jesus for who He really is (as Peter and his fellows nearly did!).
