Unexpected Savior

 

     God answers us in unexpected ways, not always to our liking, but always for our good. He brings unexpected hope to the hopeless. He gives unexpected peace that passes all understanding and He allows us to pray unexpected prayers as He listens to us throughout our days.

     One day soon our Savior will come, at an unexpected time. We don’t know the date or the hour. Even though His arrival will be at an unexpected time, we should be waiting expectantly! Are you ready? Have you spoken of Him to your friends and family? Do you know Him and love Him with all of your heart, soul and strength? Will you be ready when He arrives to take us home? And will Jesus respond to us like this?

“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things. I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness.’ Matthew 25:21

     The signs Jesus told us to look for are upon us. It might not be in our lifetime, but there is a good chance His unexpected arrival could be soon. What are we to do? Jesus tells us:

“When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads because your redemption is drawing near. Luke 21:28

Therefore encourage one another with these words. 1 Thessalonians 4:18

     I pray these words will encourage you. Expect the unexpected. Listen for the answer, look for hope and peace, pray for all things and stand and look up! Your redemption is drawing near.

Father,

Sometimes we long for our heavenly home, but You have things for us to do. We await Your coming with expectant hearts. Keep us awake and ready to meet You face-to-face.

In Jesus name,

Amen
