One of my BIG motivations to get well!

[Katecan]

Wanted to share this with you all. My last hungover morning while laying in bed praying for God to forgive me for getting drunk again, this hit me.

What if Jesus had returned during the night when I was drunk and passed out?
The thought scared me to death. I was fearful of the consequences.

Since that scare, I have the motivation to stay ALERT and READY.

Stay Alert! - Luke 21:34-36

"Be careful! Don't spend your time drinking and getting drunk. Or don't be too busy with worldly things. If you do that, you will not be able to think right. And then the end might come when you are not ready. It will come like a surprise to all people on earth. So be ready all the time. Pray that you will be strong enough to continue safely through all these things that will happen. And pray that you will be able to stand before the Son of Man."

Key Thought

Jesus repeatedly warned his disciples during the latter part of his ministry to stay alert and be ready for his return. But what does being ready mean? Does it mean knowing the exact time of his return -- the day or the hour? No, we can't know that. So what does it mean? It means to live with faithful vigilance, expectation, and hope for Jesus' return. He stands near and can return at any time.

Today's Prayer

Holy and righteous Father, the Eternal God and Creator of the universe, work in me your righteous will to make me ready for your Son's glorious return. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Stay Alert! : Luke 21:34-36 : What Jesus Did! : HEARTLIGHT®

Thanks for listening.
