The wall of the tepidity (suite)

"Go to the ant, lazy ; consider his ways, and become wise. She has neither chief, nor inspector, nor master ; she prepares her food in the summer, she collects food during the harvest. Lazy, how long will you be sleeping ? When will you rise from your sleep ? (Proverbs 6: 6-9)

Have you ever seen a resting ant, sitting comfortably in a sunbed, wearing sunglasses, sipping lemonade ? No never ! The only ones I saw at rest were simply dead, they were resting from their works.

Ernest Newman said about the great composers : "The great composer does not work because he is inspired, but receives his inspiration by working. Beethoven, Wagner, Bach and Mozart have never wasted their time waiting for any inspiration."

For us Christians, the written and revealed Word of God is sufficiently clear.

John Wesley was asked how he imagined the last moments of his life. He replied : "I would like to continue what I am doing. I will get up at 5am to pray, then I will do a house meeting at 6am. At noon, I will preach in the open air. At 3 pm, I will have another meeting in another city. At 6 pm, I will have another house meeting. At 10 pm I will have another prayer meeting and at midnight I will leave with my Lord".

Let's wake up !
