Called to be Prepared

"Be on your guard, then, because you do not know what day your Lord will come. If the owner of a house knew the time when the thief would come, you can be sure that he would stay awake and not let the thief break into his house. So then, you also must always be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you are not expecting him."
Matthew 24:42‭-‬44 GNBDK

Reflection:
None of us saw 2020 as a year to be locked in our homes. This pandemic showed us two things; how fragile our lives are and how recklessly we have been living our lives. When Jesus came two thousand years ago, all the prophecies were fulfilled. And Jesus himself has assured us of his second coming, but how prepared are we for him? Each new day is an opportunity to do so, let us then be aware, be conscious and live in his grace. For when he comes he will safeguard us as his people. 

Prayer:
I pray that God our Father gives you the grace to always be open to his word incarnate in the Jesus Christ his son. As you dwell in the word may you follow it's instructions as you prepare your heart and home for the Lord. And may his Holy Spirit bless all your endeavours. Amen 

God Bless you and your loved ones :)
