Keep Your Lamps Burning

We must be made ready for the coming of the Lord. We must not focus only on the present and ignore the eternity to come. Be longsuffering, be patient, persevere, and do not be distracted. We are to build up and establish our faith here and now. The blessings of this life are small compared to the blessings of eternity. The return of Christ is drawing near. Be ready at all times to leave this world and enter into rest. We are to wait awake for the Master to come. We must not live in a state without vision. We must mature and not remain in a place of continual immaturity. We must keep the fire alive and burning. How are you using your time? Only so much time has been given for personal growth and faith. We are to develop deep faith and dependence upon God. Do not allow the world to dull this vision. Those that are striving and persevering will be found by their Master doing what they are supposed to do. Watch and pray! What is drawing our attention? What is our life being lived for? Did I make full use of the means of grace? Did it all pass me by and profit me nothing? We must examine ourselves by this truth. We must not become so focused on the things of the earth that our spiritual life dies. We must sever from our life anything that will render us unprepared for the return of Christ. The unfaithful servant refuses to acknowledge the reality of the times. This is common in the Church. People refuse to respond when God speaks to them and they come under delusion. Do not lose sight of the coming of Christ! Let us be faithful to carry out what we have learned; let us be ready for the return of Christ. Let us keep our lamps burning.
