Title: Seat of Faith /Acts 20:7-12
There are several physiological processes that humans need to survive. This is an essential action for sustaining life. First, you have to breathe in order to live. Then you have to eat to live. It's not just about eating. must be excreted. Excretion, indeed, is important. Those who have not experienced the pain of a person who cannot go to the bathroom for days and days do not know. Especially women suffer a lot. There is another physiological action that we must repeat smoothly. It means that you have to sleep to live. There is no one who can live without sleep. The pain of not sleeping for three days is more painful than the pain of not eating for three days. So, isn't it said that the most terrible torture among tortures is the one that keeps you from sleeping?
An experiment was conducted at the "University of Chicago" in the United States, and the title of the experiment was "Insomnia Marathon Experiment." They lived three days longer than without food or water and died. It was an experiment that showed that sleep is just as important to life as food or water.
These days, more and more people are nodding. Whether you are a person who has been chasing through the night due to unemployment and economic hardship or a person who is weary from spring exhaustion, it seems that it is really difficult to overcome the drowsiness that always comes in the afternoon.
Now let's think about it. Why did Eutychus fall from the window?
Did we not get a few preliminary moves and warnings today? Isn't our faith in danger of missing the moment when its place has become so numb that it cannot bear the drowsiness?
The American philosopher "William Ballett" said in the preface to his book "The Unreasonable Man" that there are three points of view that must be looked at. The first is a vertical eye that looks at God, the second is a horizontal eye that can look at history and humans in the distance, and the third is an introverted eye that can see inside oneself. Let's think about one more thing here. It is a spiritual perspective that always confirms the place of my faith in my relationship with God. If we can always wake up and live with these eyes open, our true place of faith will be preserved.
Dear saints!
Is your position truly that of a believer?
Isn't it a place where you're drowsy sitting on the window sill?
