Scripture:
Titus 2:13 "Looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ".
Observation:
Paul is writing to Titus and telling him how to live right in verse 11 and 12. He then goes on and tells why, "looking for the blessed hope". Living with the Blessed Hope in mind is the only way to live the Christian life. When we keep the return of the Lord in mind, we will focus on the right things.
Application:
If you really believe that Jesus might come back today, would you live the day any differently than usual? If you really believe that Jesus was coming tomorrow, how would you live differently today? We must learn to live with eternity in our hearts and an eye on the coming of the Lord. When this happens, our lives will line up with the will of God. We must stay in the the right mindset, so we don't get overrun by the things of this world.
Prayer:
Lord, keep my eyes on the sky and help me live every day to the fullest for Your kingdom. Keep me looking up and getting ready for Your return. Let my life count for eternity Lord.
Love you,
Jeff
