I Thessalonians 5

6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

As a result we will not allow or permit ourselves in no way to be inactive, to the extent for instance that we take advantage of God's Grace as others not long past have done; on the contrary, we will come before His presence in order to see or learn something, we will wait attentively and expectantly, at the same time continue to be free from excess, showing self control.
