Did Not Know How to Answer
When Jesus was in the Garden of Gethsemane, He told His disciples to watch and pray. Then He went away to pray. The Bible says, "And when He returned, He found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy; and they did not know what to answer Him."(Mark 14:40) They didn't know "what to answer Him" because they were without excuse. So often we would rather sleep than pray. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. God knows our weaknesses and gave us His Holy Spirit to help us overcome them. So, live in the Spirit. That means that you will have to exercise yourself to godliness. As with physical exercise, this requires a measure of discipline, and it can be sidetracked by excuses. But just as you train your body to reach a specific goal, you have a godly goal: to reach the lost. Nothing else should matter like that goal. It is your high calling. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
