Living Ready

 Scripture:

“So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭44‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Observation:

Jesus’ disciples came to Him and asked about when the end would come. He gave answers that sound like they are the headlines of today. It is apparent from His description of the Last Days, that we are living in them. He tells them they must be ready because He would come at an hour they wouldn’t expect Him. His return is extremely close on the timeline of eternity. There is nothing left to fulfill before He comes again.

Application:

We must live each day ready for the coming of our Lord. We must live like we expect Him at any moment. It is easy to get wrapped up in all the things going on in the world around us. It is easy to get consumed with what’s on our daily, weekly, and yearly agenda. As a Christ follower, I must begin to plan my agenda and my calendar while knowing I might not see any of it happen. I must live with an eye on His coming in my daily life. If I knew He were coming tomorrow, I know I would live differently.

Prayer:

Father, help me to live with the urgency that the signs are all around us and Your coming is very soon. Help me to make an impact every day on someone’s life. Teach me to walk with You and not get too distracted by the things go this earth. My life is Yours. Use it in these last days. Show me how to live a life of kingdom impact.

Yours Forever,

Jeff
