I have now rewritten today’s
devotion about three times. I would
write something then felt that was not what God was leading me to share
today. I pray that as I have been lead
today to change what I have written, that it will speak to whoever God has intended
for it to be for.
1 Thessalonians 5:17-18
Always keep on
praying. No matter what happens, always be thankful, for this is
God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
These verses are amongst
the verses that are talking about Christ’s return and not knowing the day or
the hour. We need to always be prepared
at all times.
I was talking with my
husband yesterday about a situation that we have been dealing with. We were talking about someone close to us
that is always telling us how we should be living our lives and how we are not
doing the right thing by sending our son to a public school in the fall. We started talking about faith and being
prepared for God’s return at any point. We are not to just be faithful in going to
church, rather we are to live a Godly life.
This is something that I
try hard to live. I try to be God to
others, be it with the words that I share, taking someone a meal, caring for
someone’s child or whatever it might be.
I have been asked why I do this when I don’t get hardly even a thank you
at times. To me, it is not about getting
anything back, it is about being ready for Christ’s return at any point. Would I want those around me to see Christ
return but not know Christ? Of course not.
To be prepared, I need to constantly be sharing Christ with others. I need to be constantly praying and be
thankful for those opportunities each and every time they come up.
How are you preparing for
Christ return? Will those around you
also be prepared because of your example?
