Keep Watch!

SCRIPTURE
Mark 13:35: Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back.


OBSERVATION
This entire chapter is devoted to Jesus explaining to His disciples to watch for the end of days - when Jesus will return in glory and God will judge. Am I ready? There won't be time to tell one more person about Jesus. It needs to be done now - whenever an opportunity presents itself!


APPLICATION
To whom should I be witnessing? Family? Friends? If God doesn't want anyone to perish (2 Peter 3:9: . . . He is patient with you, not wanting any to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.), am I doing all I'm supposed to?

PRAYER
Lord, let me not miss a single opportunity to tell someone about Jesus, to invite someone to church, or to show your selfless love through my life. I don't want to walk away from someone and say, "I should have said . . . ". I don't want to come to the end of days and know someone who was left behind because I missed an opportunity. Keep me sensitive to the moving of the Holy Spirit in these matters. Amen.
