Look And
Ask!
"For you yourselves know perfectly
that the day of the Lord so comes
as a thief in the night."
1 Thessalonians 5: 2
A boss gives a worker a task in
the warehouse.
Later the boss stops by unexpectedly to find his
worker scrolling through his phone. The worker
jumps up and points to his completed task. But
the
boss says, “You could have looked for other
things to do or at least asked for your next
assignment."
Don’t be satisfied with doing the
bare minimum; there are always
other things to be done.
The Bible says Jesus’ return for His Church will
come like “a thief in the night.” That is, it comes
unexpectedly, which raises The Apostle
Peter’s
question: “What manner of persons ought you
to be in holy conduct and godliness” in light of
Christ’s unexpected return (2 Peter 3:11-12)?
As we wait for the return of Christ and
the end of the age, are we content to do
“the bare minimum” as believers? Or,
are we looking and asking for ways to
serve Him as faithful
disciples until
He returns (Luke
12:35-38)?
Look and ask today for ways
to serve Jesus as you watch
for His appearing.
"The highest honor in the
church is not government
but
service."
John Calvin
