grace for your spirit July 31, 2013

Grace for your spirit
Be dressed in readiness, and keep your lamps lit.  Be like men who are waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding feast, so that they may immediately open the door to him when he comes and knocks.  Luke 12:35-36

While it is true that the faithful need to be watchful for the coming of the Lord,  He also instructs us to be busy serving while we watch and wait.  Many religions are "watch only".  That idle lifestyle does not make Him return soonern or help us be ready for Him.  I see people standing in the street watching for the bus all the time.  What does that help?  A watched pot never boils and a watched clock never moves. When are busy in the service of our Master, His return will never sneak up on us.
