Working, Watching, Waiting

     Working for Christ. Watching for the signs of the times. Waiting patiently for His coming. Working, watching, waiting.

And now, dear children, continue in Him, so that when He appears we may be confident and unashamed before Him at His coming.  John 2;28

     As we work, wait and watch, God asks us to:

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances for this is God’s will for you, in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

     Give thanks in all circumstances, rejoice always, pray continually. How can we do this and why? Here is our answer. Jesus is the answer.

May God Himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The One who calls you is faithful, and He will do it! 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

     Our God is a God of peace. He will get us ready for His coming. Work, wait and watch. Pray, rejoice, give thanks. He is faithful!

Jesus,

What comforting Words You give us today. Hold us close, so that our entire body, soul and spirit will be ready for the day You appear. You are faithful.

Amen
