"Take heed, keep on the alert; for you do not know when the appointed time will come." -Mark 13:33 (NASB)
It can be hard to be ready and waiting, just ask my three year old daughter when she's waiting for her aunt and uncle to arrive for a visit. My daughter knows that the trip to our house takes a long time, but she can't tell time to count down the more than eight hour wait. One thing was for sure, my daughter wasn't going to take a nap and risk missing the arrival of her visitors. She was going to be awake and ready!
Much like my daughter waiting on her aunt and uncle, we don't know for sure when Jesus will return, but we should be ready, awake, and waiting! We should take every opportunity to spread God's love and to prepare ourselves and each other for Jesus' return. We should be filled with excitement and eager anticipation for the return of our Savior!
Be awake and ready for Jesus' return, no matter when it happens!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for sending Jesus to die for my sins and for the promise of His return. Please help me to be ready, awake, and waiting. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
