1 Corinthians 16:13 “Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, (be courageous) be strong!”
JUST JESUS!
There are many events that we hope for in life; there are countless of dreams which we long to come true.
And though these occasions are hopes most exceeding…HIS voice I hear calling within my own soul.
“Would you lay down your goal for great earthly promotion if I call you JUST to MY service?
Leaving all expectations found other than ME, would you surely proclaim it as “Worthy?”
“Would you turn from a chapel on your wedding day after months of preparing…to JUST marry ME?”
“Would you drop all possessions and gladly go forth to live JUST with the least of all these?”
So I am drawing you Child, much deeper. MY voice you hear calling shall lead you to seek ME.
JUST be readied the most every day while you serve to see ME in the clouds, bound for Home!
As JUST one of HIServants gaining treasures in Heaven as together we watch, wait and serve HIM WHO’s coming,
Whitney
Devotional: Luke 21:28 “Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
We’ve seen the cartoon clips of a CHRISTian at the threshold of some great goal.
While they’re getting ready to get their huge promotion, get married, see a child graduate college, etc… the LORD comes back and calls them.
However, their reply is, “JUST one more minute, LORD. Give me one minute more!”
Speaking most of all to myself, are our minds most centered on going Home or staying here?
Let us not let the cares, loves and things of this world, even with family and friends, overshadow or outweigh the most important goal of all.
JUST going Home with JESUS! Be found then watching, serving and worthy!
Look up now, I say to both self and to you. Look up for the LORD at all times — most of all!
Matthew 24:42 “So always be ready, because you don’t know the day your LORD will come!”
Amen and amen!
