Live Ready Week 1: Ready Your Soul
Over the next few weeks we will be talking about how to Live Ready… As we all know, life can throw some pretty wicked curve balls our way. Not to mention, we live in the midst of constant change. This constant change can cause us to question God, be confused in our faith, or have doubts.
Today we are talking about being readying your soul!
Keep Watch
Matthew 24:42-44 “42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”
Jesus, in this passage, is speaking about himself. He says that we must keep watch for his coming. What does he mean by this? The Bible talks about the second coming of Christ. We know, celebrated during Christmas time, that Jesus has come once to earth as a baby boy to save us from our sin! But there came a point in the ministry of Jesus when He returned to heaven. However, he left us with a promise as we await His return.
No one fully knows when the “Son of Man” will return, but the fact that he will return should affect our lives daily. If Jesus is to come back, there is work to be done!
Keep Learning
Joshua 1:8 “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”
God says that the keys for Joshua to prosper and succeed in all he does lie in whether the book of the Law would guide his every move. Is this the case for us today? Does the Bible really take priority in our lives? Are you saturated with the Word every day, or are you content with a sparse sprinkling of it?
What is it in your heart today that's keeping you from a relationship with Christ? I speak from personal experience when I say that this relationship will truly change everything for you. Will you give up sinful ways of life to follow Jesus? Will you ready your soul, and commit yourself to Him?
Prayer: “Lord help us to live vigilant and ready lives as we commit fully to you and your ways. Let us prosper through the highs and lows of life as you faithfully lead us.”
