Stay Awake

Scripture: 33 So be alert. Watch for it (and pray) for you never know when that time might approach. 34 This situation is like a man who went on a journey; when he departed, he left his servants in charge of the house. Each of them had his own job to do; and the man left the porter to stand at the door, watching. 35 So stay awake, because no one knows when the master of the house is coming back. It could be in the evening or at midnight or when the rooster crows or in the morning. 36 Stay awake; be alert so that when he suddenly returns, the master won’t find you sleeping. 37 The teaching I am giving the four of you now is for everyone who will follow Me : stay awake, and keep your eyes open. (Mark 13:33-37 The Voice) It is so important for us to stay awake in our Christian walk. Sometimes we can get weary, and let ourselves slip off the path the Lord has us on. It may be laziness, discouragement, disappointment, or anything that seems to come into our lives that can deter us. It does take awareness and alertness to stay the course. Father, You do lead and guide me always. I want to stay awake, to stay aware and alert to You and Your ways. Thank You for being so faithful to me. AMEN Lord as I continue to search for You and Your ways may I be filled with joy and gladness. I will then say, “The Lord is great!” Psalm 40
