Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message until midnight... And in a window sat a certain young man named Eutychus, who was sinking into a deep sleep. He was overcome by sleep; and as Paul continued speaking, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead. vv.7,9
Read chapter 20
Paul doesnt waste any time. Knowing he's leaving the next day stays up past midnight to continue speaking and teaching these men. You'd think he'd want to pack or get a good night's sleep before the long travel ahead, but these relationships and spreading the truth are of more importance. Oh and how i can relate to Eutychus when I've been listening to sermon when I'm super tired and do the head bob, shocking myself awake. AS much as I love scripture and as Eutychus desire to hear Paul, we still grow weary, so let's not sit in a window so we don't fall out of it, especially since we don't have Paul to resurrect us today.
How do you use your time to the max for God?
