Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. — 1 Thessalonians 5:6

So many people just drift through life. They never get enough sleep to truly live. But we won’t waste our lives like that! We know we are alive because Jesus came and not only gave us life, but also taught us how to live. So we will be on the lookout. We’re going to be in charge of ourselves. We’ll be fully alive because we know that Jesus’ s return is coming soon and that our day of salvation and freedom is coming soon after that.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, please forgive me for the times I’ve lost the urgency to live for Jesus. Use the Holy Spirit in me to make me want to serve him with my eyes wide open and my heart set on great and heavenly things. I know that you can and will do more than I can ask or think of, but please wake me up so that I can dream big dreams and think of big things for your glory. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
