Day 88

Scripture Reading: Revelation 14-16

SCRIPTURE - Revelation 16:15

¹⁵“Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed.”

OBSERVATION - Suddenly, unexpectedly, we are to observe and be aware and ready.  The return of the saviour is soon and we are to continually watch for him to surprise us at any time.  The passage tells us to be aware not to be caught naked and not ready for the return of our Lord. Being naked means there is shame attached to this moment in time and we must always be ready for the return of Christ.

APPLICATION - Always be ready, never go out in public without your clothes on.  Seems pretty obvious to me however, there have been times when I wasn’t prepared well in advance and it seemed as though I was naked and went through an embarrassing moment that could have been avoided if I were clothed properly. Ever been there? This is something that you want to make sure you avoid at all costs, make sure you are ‘naked ready’ which means always be on your guard for the return of the Lord.

PRAYER - God may I always be on my guard.  May I live like it’s possibly the last day of my life each day.  May I make decisions and may my actions bring you glory and honour in all that I do.  In Jesus name, Amen.
