Waking up in pain.

John 15:6 ESV
 "If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned."

I must have slept on my knee the wrong way. I work up in excruciating pain. Not the way I like to wake up. In fact, it was the pain that woke me. I obviously was so tired, I was sleeping with it twisted unknowingly. It took me by surprised because I was sleeping. I had not idea what I had done. It took me awhile to settle down and figure out what had happened to me, as I stumbled to the kitchen to get some ice and Tylenol. Once, I had my wits about myself, and realized what had happened, I could control the situation.  

That's not so with hell. Those that have denied Christ's existence will wake up and find themselves in severe pain, however they will not be able to do anything about it. The pain will not last until they can grab some ice and Tylenol but for eternity. I thought about that for a few moments while I was settling myself down, because truth be known I don't do mornings well. I feel better once I have been up awhile. 

Only while on this earth can we do anything about our wake-up location. For that moment when we are between here and eternity is too late. Had I been about my wits I would have rolled back over onto my back. Replaced the pillow under my knee and adjusted myself. But, I was out of it. I was gone. I was dead tired. I slept on until it was too late. 

ACTION STEP: Adjust yourself now. Wake up your friends and family and tell them to adjust themselves now. While the day is still the day, and they can do something about where, and how they will wake up. Decision time is now. Adjustment time is now. When they awake in pain it will be too late. Adjustment time is now.
