Scripture:
Revelations 1:3 Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.
Observation:
John writes the prophecy of Jesus Christ in Revelations telling us if we understand and take to heart His prophecy we will be on the winning side when He returns. We don’t know when “the time is near” is so we can and must be ready at all times. There will be no second chance to get right when He returns.
As we get older we understand this much better. When we were younger we thought there was all the time in the world to get right with Jesus. Understanding the above explains why you need to be right every day because when He does return there is no “time out” - no time left for a “mulligan” or “do over.”
Application:
Clearly, I need to be prepared every day – focused on Jesus. I need a daily relationship with Him and to “take heart.” I want to be in His kingdom eternally. He is my Savior.
Prayer:
Lord, I work to be prepared to meet You and to be accepted into Your kingdom. Guide me down the right path, keep me in the light and rebuke me when I fail. In Your holy name I ask. Amen.
