hmm... its been a great long time I have even looked at this blog...!! Life has changed and my routine has changed. I sleep early in the morning ..... wake up late afternoon .... eat late dinner .... and then go to sleep early in the morning and that has been my routine for the past few weeks!! However, I decided to wake up early today at any cost... which for me was just 8 am .... but even 8 am was rather hard for me!! Even though I woke up on time ....I spent most of my day feeling tired due to lack of sleep!! well .... What inspired me to change my routine was Mark 1: 35, from the Holy Bible. I was reading my Bible when I came across this verse which said in precise words.... that Jesus woke up early in the morning even when it was dark, left the house, went off to a solitary place and prayed. Even as I read this verse, I started imagining how Jesus would actually wake up early and just take a walk to some quite place and pray...And as I imagine this, it just seemed all wonderful to me at once.!!! So many questions crossed my mind...did he even get enough sleep as he would often be followed by crowds....he would preach and heal people all day long...!! I wonder if he ever slept?? How did he manage wake up on time?? What must have been his alarm ( because he went to pray when it was still dark)?? Was there even an alarm clock or was it just a routine for him to wake up on time?? Did he ever say - a few more minutes please....as I say that when I hit the snooze button....After all, he was human and God equally. When I say that, I don't mean he was half human and half God....but he was completely human and completely God at the same time....!!I wondered at all these questions! How beautiful, wonderful, awesome, mysterious and amazing is the fact that he was God and man at the same time!!!! How amazing would be the sight where the "Son of God" would kneel and talk to the father above in a beautiful and solitary place!! I don't know if my human brain would ever comprehend this wonderful concept of trinity and of Jesus being equally human and God at the same time!! But one lesson learnt from Mark 1:35 - Wake up in the morning and pray.... That of course is the best time...So I'll just wrap it up and try to improve my routine and wake up on time tomorrow!!
Praise the Lord...
Chandu!!
