Bible Verse of The Day – 8-26-24

Luke 12:40 (NKJV) 40 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”

As Jesus shared a parable about a faithful servant and an evil servant, He used examples of a master leaving home and then returning later.

His parable alludes to the fact that the servants did not know at what time the master would return, so their loyalty and diligence was put to the test.

Jesus encouraged His disciples to be always prepared, like “men who wait for their master” that when he knocks, they open the door to him immediately.

And so it should be for us today.

We should not let the cares of the world catch us up in worry and fretting.

We should not allow jealousy and envy to cause us to constantly spin our wheels in pursuit of wealth and popularity.

Let us, instead, spend our time and our effort on the things of God’s kingdom; the things that please Him and cause our relationship with Him to grow and flourish.

That we be like the faithful servant spoken of by Jesus who keeps themselves prepared and girded, with a lamp always burning, ready for Him upon His return.

If we feel ourselves getting drawn in by the cares of this world, may we surrender ourselves fully to Him and obey the leading of His Spirit.

Luke 12:37-38 (NKJV) 37 Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them. 38 And if he should come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
