Grace for your spirit August 27, 2013

Grace for your spirit
And He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter,"Simon, are you asleep? Could you not keep watch for one hour? Keep watching and praying that you may not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."  Mark 14:37-38

Jesus about to be arrested in the garden where He went to pray.  His apostles were supposed to watch and pray.  They couldn't give Him an hour.  They were totally unaware of the circumstances unfolding around them, and the challenges they would soon have to face.  Does that amaze you?  I am equally amazed every Lord's day when I become aware of how many people don't have an hour to stay awake for the Lord.  I see that too many are also unaware of the circumstances and challenges coming.  If we were, our worship services would be full and alive.  God has given us all 168 hours this week.  Can we find one for Him?  Will one be enough?
