Tonight I was reading in Matthew 24, and 25. I was not so impressed by all the details about Jesus coming again, but more by how I should live, knowing that he is coming back.
The parable of the 10 virgins hit me. Five were watching for the bridegroom. They were ready for him to come. Five were not paying attention. They were just living their lives without thinking about the coming of the Bridegroom.
I want to be ready. I want to be living my life on fire for God, so that when he comes he will find me ready. I do not want to be passive about my life, but active in pursuing God's ways. This encourages me among other things to pray and read the Word of God more faithfully. I need to watch for what I am to speak, and speak boldly, but gently.
