August 21st -- Luke 17:20-37

Read the passage, please!

I think that really all I can say for this is to be ready. Be ready for Jesus' return and the coming of God's Kingdom at any time. None but God Himself - not even Jesus - knows when Jesus' Second Coming will be. It will have some signs, as Jesus says, just like anything has signs. However, it will not have any sort of huge, formal warning or announcement. It will merely happen. It will be sudden. So just always be prepared for it. Don't wait until tomorrow to prepare. Prepare every second of every minute of every hour of every day. Just keep drawing nearer to God. Don't start packing or trying to gather stuff down here on earth, because that won't matter after Jesus has returned. Focus instead on your relationship with God. Put all priority on that and your faith. Look after your eternal life, not your earthly one, because for all any of us knows, this one here and now may just end here and now. Eternal, however, is eternal, so I know I, personally, want with more than I can express to spend that one with God.

That's all I've got for today! God bless! Shalom!
