Scripture:

1 Thessalonians 5:6

6 So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober.

Are You Ready

Recently, the Lord reminded me of Revelation Chapter 2, where we read about the Church of Ephesus. When you read it you understand that they were a church that checked all the boxes, they hated wickedness, they were hard-working (Ministry). As far as walking out the Kingdom, we would have called them an awesome church, but the Lord notes their deficit: they had lost sight of the "why".  He says, "Remember your first love, go back and do the things you did at first, remember the depth from which you have been redeemed."   Why?   Because we can become so wrapped up in the what and lose sight of the why.    

We can be so prepared for the day of trouble, but what about the day of His return, the day that you face Him "face-to-face," are you ready?    Are you preparing for His return?   

The God Shot today is to get back to the "WHY" you do the "WHAT" for.    To return to your first love (Christ), to get your LAMPS ready (Matthew 25:1-13) so that on that day you are not found without your OIL, today you should be as challenged by this word from God as I am, to FAN the FLAME of your FAITH,  to stir your heart to do those things that will PREPARE you for His return.

Lord, you have gifted us time; it is precious (Psalm 90:12) let us use it all for your glory, let us not waste it, may we be in a ready state for your return, with arms wide, hearts prepared, lives that would bring you Glory, may our lamps be full and the light that you have placed in us not grow dim, breathe into our lives O' Lord, breathe in, in Jesus' name, Amen!
