TODAY’S WORD…

.

“Therefore keep watch,

because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.”

.

– Matthew 24:42

.

.

REFLECTION…

.

Jesus teaches us the practical moral that a Christian needs to be on the watch,

living each day as if it were his or her last.

.

He tells us to live in such a way

so that if today turns out to be our last, we will be found in a state of grace.

.

What a contrast this is

with the self-gratifying and unconstrained “just do it” and “anything goes” cultures

which today’s gurus “preach”.

.

What a contrast

between the Truth…and empty promises!

.

.

PRAYER…

.

Lord, I thank You for setting me free.

I thank You for allowing me to choose.

.

I have chosen You, Lord,

because in You I have found true freedom;

I have found unconditional and pure love;

I have discovered wholesome joy and inner peace,

and a desire to live everyday as if it were my last

– but in Your company.

.

Thank You, Lord.
