"Don't let him find you sleeping when he arrives without warning. I say to you what I say to everyone: Watch for Him!"
Mark 13:36-37
NLT Bible
Jesus told this parable about a man who was going away on a long journey. He instructed his gatekeeper to be watchful until he returned. Jesus used this analogy to let us know that as His followers, we also need to be alert and vigilant until He returns. We know that Jesus is coming soon, but we don't know when. It could be today, tomorrow or next year. What's important is that we be ready at all times.
Many of us have been lulled into complacency and indifference by the things of the world. We live as we please and become easy victims to the wiles of the devil, who constantly prowls around trying to derail us. We need to be watchful and alert. We must draw close to God through prayer and His Word, obey Him and use every opportunity to tell others about Him. Our reward is an eternity with Him.
Thank you Lord for the promise of eternal life. You are coming soon and I want to be ready for Your return. Help me to be vigilant and alert. I love you, Jesus. Amen!
Be Blessed!
