Be Alert and Ready

Beyond the Present Time
Resurrection Hope
Hope through Stewardship

Luke 12:35-40

The Message

When the Master Shows Up

35-38 “Keep your shirts on; keep the lights on! Be like house servants waiting for their master to come back from his honeymoon, awake and ready to open the door when he arrives and knocks. Lucky the servants whom the master finds on watch! He’ll put on an apron, sit them at the table, and serve them a meal, sharing his wedding feast with them. It doesn’t matter what time of the night he arrives; they’re awake—and so blessed!
39-40 “You know that if the house owner had known what night the burglar was coming, he wouldn’t have stayed out late and left the place unlocked. So don’t you be slovenly and careless. Just when you don’t expect him, the Son of Man will show up.” 

For Reflection
How alert are you to the call of God?  How alert are you the hand of God in your life and in the lives others? Are you prepared to follow God's next opportunity? 

Pray
that you will prepare to respond to God's call.  Pray that you will be up to any task.  Pray that you will be both willing and able perform in grace.
