DO NOT DISTURB

Have you ever stayed in a hotel and put out a "Do not Disturb" sign? During a recent trip to Thailand, I noticed an inordinate number of doorknobs with this sign hanging on them. I believe this was due to the fact it was twelve hours later in Thailand than in America, and many of the tourists were tired and were experiencing what is commonly called jet lag. All they wanted was some uninterrupted sleep! As I noticed the many signs, I could not but think, "These folks are missing out on a wonderful chance to explore the beautiful country of Thailand!"

How many Christians have hung a "Do Not Disturb!" sign on the doorknob of their hearts? Far too many do not want anyone disturbing them with the changes they need to make in their spiritual walk. They enjoy the life they are living and do not want to be disturbed by having to examine their progress. They are enjoying their "sleep."

It seems such a shame to have embarked upon such a marvelous journey (from death to life) only to have made the decision not to avail oneself of the blessings God has provided. The journey from a fleshly existence to a spiritual is too beautiful to miss.

"Do Not Disturb," we cry! "I am tired, and I need my rest." What good is it to take a trip if we don’t receive any benefits from having made the journey?

"The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed," (Romans 12:13).
