If the day and the hour of the coming of the Son of Man are unknown, what can/should I do in the meantime? Sin and wait for His return, knowing that I will probably get another chance for forgiveness? Obviously not!
"Be very careful, then, how you live- not as unwise, but wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil" Ephesians 5:15-16
I need to occupy until He comes, by living a godly life, the one My Father has intended for me to live. A few pointers from Matthew 24: 45-51:
- be faithful: it is very hard not to have faith in God when I see all the wonderful things He has done in my life. I may not realize what He is doing right away, but when I get a chance to look in the rear view mirror of my life, my faith just keeps growing...
- be sensible: I try to live a life filled with wisdom, but it's hard sometimes to distinguish my will versus His will. That's why He has placed wonderful people in my life to help me, encourage me, support me, and pray for me.
- be a servant like Jesus: living a godly life means imitating Christ. Knowing that Christ came not to be served, but to serve us makes it easier for me to be more than just a nice person, and really try to become a servant.
- be responsible/ reliable: I have always been careful when it comes to making commitments. Commitments imply that the person/ people you commit to know that they can depend on you. I try to be the "reliable one" in different aspects of my life. It can a little overwhelming at times, but it is also very rewarding.
