Luke 12:39-40
"But know this, that if the householder had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have left his house to be broken into. You also must be ready; for the Son of man is coming at an unexpected hour."
REFLECTION: by Andy N.
How much time, effort and money do you spend to make sure your house and possessions are safe? If a thief presents themselves and you are in danger, would you protect yourself? Of course you would. We must ask ourselves the same question about our spiritual security and safety. The devil is that thief that is trying to steal our sanctity. We must make sure our heart, mind and soul is protected from him. Instead of locks and alarms, we need to defend ourselves with prayers and devotion to the Triune God. We all know that our life on earth is finite and we do not know what the future holds. We do not know when God will call us, our physical life will come to an end. As you have prepared your house, have you prepared your soul. Brothers and sisters, you are the householder of your spiritual life; your soul. Is it in order?
PRAYER:
Lord God above, may I always be prepare to answer Your call. It is You that determines when life begins and when it is over. I pray that my time on earth is spent in a god-like manner and a life of service to my fellow man. I do not now when Your call will come but I pray I have done of good job, I have girded my loins, and I am prepared to meet You. I ask this in Your name, Amen.
