Comment on this Command
This command develops within us a willing spirit to tell God and others in what ways they have benefited and encouraged us in our commitment to serve others. This action develops a strong expression of gratefulness in our living each day and that we have very little to be unthankful about.
My hope still is to leave the world a bit better than when I got here.

Do not sleep. There is no condition more dangerous than that of sleepiness. Only when you are awake, can you wage a battle. Therefore, be on the alert and fight, so that your life will speak of victory. For only when there has been a battle, can there be victory. And the victors, the over comers, are those who will be shown great honour and glory when they enter heaven.
