Are you ready to meet Jesus right now? If you knew that you were going to stand face to face with Jesus in a month from now what changes would you make? Stop and reflect on this for a moment. Well, the fact is you may be standing face to face with Jesus in a month or even tomorrow. It is so easy, in our comfortable leisure-filled environment, to fall asleep spiritually. It is easy to let ourselves go and to begin to drift along with the crowd. It takes vigilance to stay spiritually alert. How will Jesus find you? What is he saying to you now? Have you stopped and attuned your heart to him lately? Are you aware of what he is doing around you? There is a parade of spiritual activity passing in the world today. God is doing great things in the world and you can be part of it. But it is easy for us to be like a person who stays in bed unaware while the great parade passes by in the street. Jesus is doing great things in the world. Are you aware of this? Are you a part of what he is doing? Or have you lost touch with him? Is your heart aligned with the things he is passionate about or have your desires been hijacked by other matters? These are really important things to think about and we should never cease checking up on ourselves. Are you awake or are you asleep? How will Jesus find you if you were to face him now?
Reflect on these things and ask God to awaken your heart.
Read Luke 12:35-48
