Watch Yourselves

[janbear]

Watch Yourselves

Watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a trap. (Luke 21:34)

When my heart is consumed with anything without looking to and trusting Christ our good shepherd, I become weighed down. Like all of us, it effects my spiritual vision and I stumble into the dark, away from the peace of God that guards my heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

Whether we pull the shades or get out of bed doesn't matter. The sun will rise. And the day of the Lord is coming. But he does care whether we pull the covers over our spiritual eyes. That day will come upon you- whether we go to be with him, or we remain until he comes to take us, you and I will see that day. It is coming. (Luk 21:35) Let's pray.

Lord Jesus, you are our hope. Thank you for the gift of repentance, that each one of us can turn to you and trust your mercy and lovingkindness. Help us look to you when trouble hides your light from our mind.

Your steadfast love never ends, and you are faithful to finish the work you have begun in us. We look to you with thanksgiving and remember the light of your steadfast love. Amen.

Today's very great and precious promise

And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming. (1John 2:28)

We have God's Word on it.
