Category: Being Watchful

Revelation 16:15 (NKJV) 15 “Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.”

“Coming as a thief” simply means He will come suddenly and unexpectedly.

Be ready and be watchful!

The key to being ready and watchful is found in making the time for the impartation of His word daily, and keeping prayer time a priority.

Don’t look at these as, “well, maybe later I’ll sit and read if I get certain things done”.

No, it won’t happen if we have that attitude!

Go in with the attitude, “I will sit and read. I will take time and pray today”. If we do this, nothing can stop us from doing it.

The importance of staying in His word cannot be emphasized enough. It will keep us in a constant state of watchfulness, and our hearts will always be ready for Him.

It’s not easy in the times we live in to stay focused on both of these. But it is an absolute necessity.

Now, If we struggle with having time for these, then we have too much on our plates. We need to start eliminating some things or maybe even some demanding people.

What we mean by this is that sometimes certain people can take up a good amount of our time and the space in our minds and thoughts.

We need to minimize the time we spend around them or talking with them, and give more time to the things that are going to help us stay on top of our walk with God.

The Lord will come suddenly. He states this plainly.

In order to be ready, we must be in His word and have our undivided prayer time with no distractions; just us and Him.

We may not know exactly when He is coming, but one thing we know for sure is, He is coming!

Let us be ready at all times.

Matthew 24:42 (NKJV) 42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.

Amen.
