Most often, when we invite guests into
our homes, we spend hours preparing for their arrival; we clean behind every
nook, we cook a lavish meal, and we set out our nicest china. Upon their arrival time, we listen for the
car door so we can greet them at the door, and offer them a warm welcome.
How much more we should prepare for
Christ’s return! God tells us to be
watching for Him and ready to open the door for Him. Because he will come at an unexpected hour,
we must prepare as though He were coming tonight! We must honor Him daily with what He has
given to us, and as we do so in the seemingly smaller areas of our lives, HE
will entrust us with even greater responsibility to glorify Him.
Are you ready for Christ’s return? In what ways can you prepare for Him on a
daily basis? Do you honor Him in all
things so He will entrust you with more?
Although, many are servants, few are
watchful servants. For those preparing
and ready for His return, He promises a great reward.
Prayer:
Lord, Although I do not know when you will return, I am overjoyed for
that day to come. Help me to be a
watchful servant, and to be ready to open my door for you. Thank you for revealing yourself to me so
that I may know you personally, and to one day sit at your table with you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
