“But be on your guard. Don’t let the sharp edge of your expectation get dulled by parties and drinking and shopping. Otherwise, that Day is going to take you by complete surprise, spring on you suddenly like a trap, for it’s going to come on everyone, everywhere, at once. So, whatever you do, don’t fall asleep at the wheel. Pray constantly that you will have the strength and wits to make it through everything that’s coming and end up on your feet before the Son of Man.”Luke 21:34-36 MSG Bible Gateway
Normally I am not into football unless it is Jan 1st or playoffs and Super Bowl. My hometown team, the Bengals, was in AFC championship on 29 January and I was thinking how the players can’t let their guard down thinking the game is over because in a split second the score can change.
That is like your spiritual walk . Don’t assume because you go to a certain church or have belong to a denomination that sort of guarantees you are good to go. It doesn’t work that way.
You are only on the Earth for a very short time and during that time God wants to use you to grow his kingdom and make a difference. Don’t get lazy with morning time alone with God or think just attending church is enough. It is way more than that. Guard your heart for out of it flow issues of your life. (Proverbs 4:23).Each day draw close to God and seek more of Him not just on Sunday. And search the scriptures and memorize key verses. Let your life reflect His glory!
PRAYER: Help me not take my faith for granted and also to not get lazy in growing string reading scripture to get to know you better. Help me continue to press forward. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
