Matthew 24:36-44 (NIV)
The Day and Hour Unknown

36 "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

42 "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him. ..."

Lord I thank You for Your Word today. A lot of times I think I am not so ready for Your second coming, for there's still many of my family members and friends who are still unsaved. I want to reach out to them before Your coming, but yet because I do not know when it might be, it only results in two ways.

One is that I keep procrastinating, while the other is to cherish the time and every opportunity that I have, to spread Your living Word. Father keep the spirit of procrastination far far away from me, and grant me wisdom to understand Your will and plans for me. I want to be the latter option for You.

Use me Lord, through all the ways that I can be used. Let Your light shine through me so that people may see that I'm different because of Your presence in my life. Let minions of evil shun at the advancement of Your kingdom, for when You are with me, who can be against me.

I do not want to be ignorant of all the obvious signs happening around me. Let the urgency burn constantly in my heart. With each day I want to talk more about You to others, spread more of the good news, and plant more seeds waiting for Your grand harvest.

Let my heart and actions never cease for You, just as the way You have never cease loving me. All praise be unto You. Amen.
