Affirmation of God: I am ready.

Today’s Scripture: Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Matthew 24:44 ESV

What will we do today, this hour to ready ourselves for the end? Death makes us reflective yet it should also give us a sense of urgency to prepare our readiness.

As Jesus warned the disciples in Matthew 24 we must make sure no one or no things lead us astray. The urgency and demands of the day often attempt to lead us astray don’t they? Yet, in the face of death all other things fall away.

All cares, all concerns and all demands diminish in urgency. Will we live today with death in mind? I pray we show love and compassion to others as if death is on the doorstep.

Jesus said that those who endure to the end will be saved. Let us endure in love and passion to assure that the talents He has given us are not buried nor lead us astray.

Are you ready to see your LORD face to face?

Today’s Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for Jesus, Your Word who gave us sight into the end. LORD I pray that I live for You today. LORD forgive me for when I have been led astray. Help me LORD to endure to the end and to produce the fruits and love in the talents You have entrusted to me. Thank you. Amen
