Ya Snooze Ya Lose!

As I was rolling over in bed this morning I looked at the door and this scripture came to mind.

Prov 26:14
14 Just as a door turns on its hinges,
so a lazybones turns back over in bed.

Prov 26:13-15
The lazy man won't go out and work. "There might be a lion outside!" he says. 14 He sticks to his bed like a door to its hinges!
TLB

Prov 26:14
14 Lazy people turn over in bed. They get no farther than a door swinging on its hinges.
GNT

Maybe God was trying to tell me something. We need our rest to maintain fitness in every area and the Bible also says.

Ps 127:2
2 It is vain for you to rise up early,
To sit up late,
To eat the bread of sorrows;
For so He gives His beloved sleep.
NKJV

Ps 127:2
2 It is vain for you to rise up early,
To sit up late,
To eat the bread of sorrows;
For so He gives His beloved sleep.
NKJV

Ps 127:2
2 It is senseless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night, fearing you will starve to death; for God wants his loved ones to get their proper rest.
TLB

So where’s the balance, and how much rest is “proper”? It depends on the person and I believe God will help you schedule your life if you seek Him. As a general rule we need at least seven hours of sleep every night and especially if we are in the habit of exercising which we should be.

Seek first God’s kingdom and His will; you’re going nowhere lying still.
You’ve heard the old saying; “ya snooze ya loose!” the key is to get up at the time you choose.
Don’t let morning foggy head change your mind, don’t roll back over and start your day behind.
If your life is full of sleeping binges, then you’re like a door swinging on its hinges.

God’s mercy is new every day, His plan revealed as you pray.
Diligently keep the morning meeting; it’s more important than the food you’re eating.
Get good rest to be your best, but don’t ‘skip’ God and get stressed not blessed.
Be determined to first keep “eating PIE” because you need your fuel before you fly.

So today is day 42 of this round of the PIE90 Challenge, how are you doing? I’m running late today but still determined to do it. If you will “apply PIE” it will change your life forever and I believe you will fulfill God’s will. If you’ve missed some days don’t get down and discouraged just GET UP AND GET GOING and especially in the morning! You can do it if you will! The more time spend time fellowshipping with God the more you begin to think and act like Him and the more you act like Him the more you’ll win!
