Are We Watching?

 Scripture:

““Look, I will come as unexpectedly as a thief! Blessed are all who are watching for me, who keep their clothing ready so they will not have to walk around naked and ashamed.”” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭16‬:‭15‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

Jesus spoke these words in the midst of a section about the coming Great Tribulation and worship of the Beast and False Prophet. He told us, “I will come as unexpectedly as a thief!” He continues and let us know that those who are watching for His return are blessed. They who keep their clothing ready will not have to walk around naked and ashamed. 

Application:

I believe with all my heart that the coming of Jesus is very soon. When He comes, it will be like a thief in the night. He will come quickly, suddenly, and those who are ready and looking for His return, will go with Him. Our job is to be ready and wearing our white robes at all times. White robes demonstrate the righteousness of God’s people. We need to live out our lives in righteousness and live prepared for the coming of the Lord.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, I know You are coming soon! I see the signs all around me. I read Your Word and see the news of what is happening all over the earth. Everything You said would happen in the end is happening before our eyes today. Help me to live with my white garments on. Help me to extend Your Kingdom in the time I have left here on earth. Show me how to follow You well. Speak to me. Open doors of ministry and provide the resources to build Your kingdom here and around the world. I want to finish strong.

Yours Forever,

Jeff
