The forecast today is reading that Jesus is close at hand, the hour of His return here! He is about to open that door! What can you do to be ready? Jesus said watch for Him everyday, as if He is coming today. If we don't watch and pray He said it will seem for that person that a thief has come.
What He means is if you are not watching, then when He comes whatever you were paying more attention to will have you trapped! You won't be ready because that trap is —that thing you are so engrossed with. That thing that preoccupies your time, it will kept you from actively watching for Jesus —thus it is your god. Because it took over your time, it was more important to you than Jesus was.
Then when you see Jesus, you will know you were unfaithful to Him! Consequently, you will wish He wouldn't have come (it will be like a thief came to steal your identity) because you know you missed it! You will have wished you would have been watching for Him! That you were who you said you were!
Quickly, before it is too late get all your attention on Jesus! Get on your knees fast and pray —asking Jesus how you should be actively waiting for Him. Have nothing to do with other god’s. Don't let something silly and temporary, steal your eternity with Jesus from you.
Watch and Pray!
Matthew 24:42 Watch therefore [give strict attention, be cautious and active], for you do not know in what kind of a day [whether a near or remote one] your Lord is coming.
43 But understand this: had the householder known in what [part of the night, whether in a night or a morning] watch the thief was coming, he would have watched and would not have allowed his house to be undermined and broken into.
44 You also must be ready therefore, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not expect Him.
45 Who then is the faithful, thoughtful, and wise servant, whom his master has put in charge of his household to give to the others the food and supplies at the proper time?
46 Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) is that servant whom, when his master comes, he will find so doing.
47 I solemnly declare to you, he will set him over all his possessions.
48 But if that servant is wicked and says to himself, My master is delayed and is going to be gone a long time,
49 And begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with the drunken,
50 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour of which he is not aware,
51 And will punish him [cut him up by scourging] and put him with the pretenders (hypocrites); there will be weeping and grinding of teeth. AMPC
Scary, watch and pray please!
