1 Thessalonians 5:6-7
Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night.
Here our text cites two problems that can afflict any truly saved Christian. The first is spiritual sleepiness, while the second is spiritual drowsiness. In the first case, you are unaware of the spiritual realities happening around you. You’re spiritually alive but you can’t see, hear or know what’s going on. In the second problem, your perception of spiritual realities is impaired. Your judgment is poor, your walk is unstable and your speech is slurred– because you’re spiritually drunk. May the Lord deliver us from both problems!
