Clothed and Ready to Go

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: My mind is not always on God it wonders constantly about things here on earth and my fleshly desires. I have hateful and selfish thoughts all of the time and I judge others instead of loving them. If Jesus comes back at that time will I be dressed to go or naked sitting in a corner in shame?

Application: I need to be dressed at all times with my thoughts and heart on God and not me. When I meet others this is an opportunity for me to treat them with the love and respect God calls me to. I need to be busy doing the will of the Father and not my own selfish desires. I’m here to serve and be obedient at all times and be ready to go home when Jesus calls me home.

Prayer: My Lord I need you always. I’m a sinner as Paul said today in my reading I’m constantly doing the things I don’t want to do and not doing what I should be doing. I need your strength and guidance to make it through each day and to be ready at any time for your return.
