I Need to Stay Awake

Scripture: Revelations 16:15 “Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed.”

Observation: Each day I need to be aware that Christ may come that day. I can’t slip into sin not for a moment, because that might be the time my King may come. I spent enough time as a sinner and the day I gave my life to Christ it needs to be my whole life, focused on Him. I don’t want Jesus to be disappointed when He comes, but that He would find me doing my Father’s business.

Application: To wake up each morning giving the day to doing what pleases God. Have it in my mind and spirit to be loving, kind, ready to share my faith and to be pleasing to God. Show God’s love so when He does return He will be able to bring more to Him, because of the witness I was for Jesus.

Prayer: Dear Lord I need You, my sinful ways left unchecked can find me naked before You. Help me be clothed in your righteousness and be ready at any time to be received by you.
