God Is ... Through MatthewSample
God is . . . The One with the Plan
“So you, too, must keep watch! For you do not know the day or hour of my return.” Matthew 25:13 NLT
Have you ever taken great effort to plan for an event or experience only to have stumbling blocks get in the way of all that you had planned? God’s Word says, Don’t brag about tomorrow, since you don’t know what the day will bring. Proverbs 27:1 NLT.
You should pay careful attention to Jesus’ advice to keep watch (that is, to be prepared) because you do not know the day or hour of His return. Preparation requires an active relationship with Him and a life of faith and obedience.
What steps can you take to prepare for the coming of the Lord?
Prayer:
Lord, please help me to understand that I am not in control. You have a well-planned journey that will bring me closer to You. I look forward to the day when I meet You face to face. Please guide me until that day so that I can be a faithful servant for Your kingdom here on earth. Amen in Jesus’ name.
