 Therefore you also be ready,

Greetings
Matthew 24:44 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

The above verse has been on my heart so much lately. What would happen if we lived every moment as if it were our last moment? What would happen if we laid down our lives and cared for others every moment of every day like it was our last moment? What would happen if we shared the truth of Jesus with those we came in contact with every moment of every day as if it were our last moment? What if our eyes and hearts were so focused on our beloved Jesus and we lived every moment like that? Every moment of every day living, and submitting our lives, obeying Him daily...moment by moment by moment???

I bet Paul, Peter, John, Timothy, Luke, and many other early saints knew what it looked like to live moment by moment. Why is it that we as the church today live as if they had something we don't? Today we live as if we lack something that the early church had and we some how do not. Could it be that our focus, our eyes are not fixed on the King, every moment of every day as theirs were? I know we are to be watchful and ready for Jesus return but don't you think that was to give us hope... to give us cause to rejoice in the knowledge that our beloved was coming for us soon!!! Isn't the command to be ready more about the attitudes of our hearts then what is happening in the world??

My prayer is that I will live moment by moment of every day in Him and I don't want to settle for anything less! Its my prayer for all of us...

God Bless

Sister-

I put together a video compilation on this verse just recently. I had listened to the message [url=https://www.sermonindex.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=27855&forum=35&3]Eating and drinking with the drunken (link to thread)[/url] on the way to fellowship a few weekends ago and when I got there it was as if every word shared was line for line from this sermon. May we have a holy urgency to make ourselves ready, encourage other believers, and warn the lost (even professing christians) around us.
