Stay alert. It is easy in our culture to
just lay back and let the world slide by. We just take life day by day. We do
just what we need to do…work, eat and play—be entertained by sports, TV and
movies. But life is unpredictable. There is so much gloom and doom…wars, rumors
of war, economic failure in cities and countries. Disasters happen. Earthquakes,
floods, or tornados. People get sick, hurt, loose their job…or maybe are
attacked. Life changes. How can we prepare? Therefore
be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming. Matthew
24:42. Watch out! Don't let your hearts be dulled by carousing and
drunkenness, and by the worries of this life. Don't let that day catch you
unaware, like a trap. For that day will come upon everyone living on the earth.
Keep alert at all times. And pray that you might be strong enough to escape
these coming horrors and stand before the Son of Man. Luke 21:34-36 NLT Don’t
get caught up in worldly activities. Be on guard. Be ready. How can you be
ready if you are not alert and clearheaded? Be prepared— even vigilant. Don’t
get lost in a fog—keep observant to everything happening around you—to things
that are happening in the world. Help others—share with them.
Prayer
~ Holy Spirit—keep me alert to all that is happening around me that I would be
prepared, not unaware and that my family, friends and neighbors would be
spiritually strong, too
