Luke 21: 36 "Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.”
Jesus started talking about the temple in Jerusalem. He then tells about his second coming. It's pretty scary, with Christians persecuted and natural disasters everywhere. He tells his followers to always be in relationship with God. We should not let the temptations and troubles of this world distract us from faithful worship.
I am always unsettled by people who claim to see the signs of the second coming. I think they are proud, not humble as a Christian should be. I would never disregard these words from Jesus, however, and I try to nourish my faith daily. Life Journal helps me do that.
Prayer: I pray that I will be ready to stand before Your son when he comes for me. I will try to keep my focus on my faith, even when everyday life seems overwhelming. I long to know You better, Lord.
Amen
