- And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest? Luke 12:25-26 – It’s a good question isn’t it. If our worrying can’t even add a single moment more to our situation why do we fall so easily into worry so often? We worry about everything. Yet worrying about money won’t get you anymore money, worrying about a future relationship won’t bring that person any closer, and worrying about your life isn’t going to change anything either. Worry will only get you where you don’t want to be, let’s choose to trust that God is able to handle and change all the things we can’t. Trust He knows what He’s doing and has a plan. Today, try your best to stop worrying and just trust God. It may just be the best decision you make today. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 617
- Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes. Truly, I say to you, he will dress himself for service and have them recline at table, and he will come and serve them. 38 If he comes in the second watch, or in the third, and finds them awake, blessed are those servants! Luke 12:37-38 – The message is pretty clear here from Jesus on how He wants to find His servants when He returns…ready. Ready and waiting for Him. No, not standing staring into the clouds. Nor is Jesus wanting His followers to be found existing in sin when He returns because they believe they have all the time in the world. The truth is no one but the Father knows when Jesus will return. So when should we begin getting ready for Jesus’ return and actively carrying out His mission? Yesterday! Or simply we should have already started, for Jesus could return at any time. How then are you serving the Lord today and how are you carrying out the great commission? Would Jesus find you ready for Him? My heart for my own walk is that if the Lord was to return today He would find me as a servant who is awake. Not one who turned to sinfulness and selfishness, but one who waited patiently for Him and never let up on the work even though His return was later than I thought. I pray this is your heart as well and I pray the Lord will find us ready when He returns. Until that wonderful day though, let’s be sharing His gospel message to whoever, whenever, however we can!
