"Be Ready"

December 02, 2024 Daily Devotion: "Be Ready" 2 Peter 3:18 New Living Translation 18 Rather, you must grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. All glory to him, both now and forever! Amen. This vision terrified Daniel so much that he was exhausted and sick for days. Daniel wasn't given all the answers he would like to have, which was why he said there was no one to explain it. Throughout history, there have been those who at times believed the end of the world must be imminent when evil people rise to power. We must be careful not to be led astray or distracted. We need discernment. God has told us some of the signs of the end of time, but Jesus also said that His return will be like a thief in the night. It will be unexpected. Just like with Daniel, God doesn't tell us all the answers to the questions we'd like to know. What God wants for us is to be ready. He wants us to live in holiness and godliness, which are growing in grace and knowledge of Him. We must be ready to meet Jesus.
