And Sleepy Deserves...

Peter and his companions were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him.  Luke 9:32

We fear awakening to a ghostly presence in the room. I suppose this comes from the flesh preferring to have ghosts walk in the door from the street, perhaps even stopping to knock first. We fear awakening to the risen dead standing in our room. The flesh prefers, I'm guessing, that only living persons should surprise us with a sudden awakening in our private rooms. We fear a bright light suddenly shining in the dark of our sleep. I guess the flesh just doesn't wake up like it used to. Peter and his companions awakened to the full deal in Luke chapter 9, the glorious light of our Lord Jesus, two long dead men from their scriptures, and then a voice in a cloud spoke to them. Yes, sleepy in the wrong place deserves a rude awakening but, whoa!, this was one for the record books! Good thing Luke recorded it in his book for us to read. The miraculous went with Jesus wherever He traveled, and maybe Peter and the boys should have been ready for something like this. Would you? Would I? As our Lord comes to us once more, be ready for the miraculous. It seems He never leaves home without it! 

Praise the Lord our God for this new day in Christ!
