my word

read and enjoy what God is teaching me everyday as I strive to be an imiator of him and as I long to live life to the fullest until the day that I will stand...no lie facedown...before my King, my Father. "Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy." ~ 1 Peter 1:8

Wake UP

"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on guard! Be alert[f]! You do not know when that time will come. It's like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with his assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.
"Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. What I say to you, I say to everyone: 'Watch!' " - Mark 13:32-37


Jesus has given us our jobs/tasks to be completed, don't be caught not doing so. Have any of you worked for somebody and when your doing something that doesn't follow the rules (even if it is just for a moment) you are on extra watch that they don't see you? You don't want to get caught. You know you are doing wrong because your conscience tells you so.

In Christ we have the spirit to tell us when we aren't doing what he wants us to do. We are working for the Lord. You don't want him to catch you not working, right?

Stop and pray and ask yourself if you are working for the Lord. Are you doing what you think he wants you to do or what he wants you to do? Examine who you are working for, somebody else or God?

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, - Matthew 28:19
