Matthew 24:42-59
Jesus said to his disciples: "Stay awake! For you do not know on which day your Lord will come. Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour of night when the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and not let his house be broken into. So too, you also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.
"Who, then, is the faithful and prudent servant, whom the master has put in charge of his household to distribute to them their food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master on his arrival finds doing so. Amen, I say to you, he will put him in charge of all his property. But if that wicked servant says to himself, 'My master is long delayed,' and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eat and drink with drunkards, the servant's master will come on an unexpected day and at an unknown hour and will punish him severely and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth."
Dawg's thought:
Today's prayer intention is for those who have left their homes to go to college, that God gives them the grace and wisdom to act prudently.
I think that there are more people like me than I think. I'm one of those people who, when given a timeframe, will relax in the time leading up to the deadline, and then cram at the last minute.
When it comes to our souls, we don't know what the deadline is. If we took the "tomorrow" approach to our spiritual lives, when will we have the time to work on being faithful and holy?
Our opportunity to live knowing the victory has been one is today. Our opportunity to live growing and allowing God to transform us is today. Our opportunity to surrender that sin we want to hold on to is today.
We are not the "tomorrow" people. We are a "resurrection" people. Take care and God Bless.
