WATCH AND PRAY!

“I say to you what I say to everyone: WATCH FOR HIM! ” Mark 13:37

As followers of Jesus, you and I are to be awake, be vigilant, be watchful. We are to keep an eye on the world around us, but most importantly we are to pay attention to our spiritual condition. We are to always be prepared for the coming of Jesus. We are not to be unaware of the signs of the season. We are told that we will know the season, but we will not know the time or day. We need to keep our heads in the game. The Lord has given us all of the tools necessary to live a life that allows us to stay alert and be involved spiritually. 1 Peter 4:7 tells us, “Be serious and watchful in your prayers.” We should always be self-controlled and disciplined. It is important that when praying that we are focused and clear headed. The world around us will do nothing less than try to change our focus and keep our minds in a state of worry and fear. Our Lord Jesus tells us in Luke 21:36, “Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” We are to be alert as to our surroundings and to what is happening in the world around us. We are to know the scriptures and be able to recognize what is right from wrong. We are to pray always, which will keep us prepared for the roadblocks put before us. Stay strong and pray always! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
