Recently, I have been a part of a small group of guy in my office who have spent time reading our Bibles over zoom together for the past three weeks. Every morning at 5:45 we are all logged on and ready to go! This has been an awesome experience because when there are a group of people studying the Word together, the Holy Spirit helps us all understand scripture in different ways.
I wanted to share something we talked about as a group the other day that really made me think, and I figured it might be a good thing to read before you all get your day going.
....A question that we should be asking ourselves this: What will I be doing when Christ returns?
"And so, dear friends, while you are waiting for these things to happen, make every effort to be found living peaceful lives that are pure and blameless in his sight." (2 Peter 3:14)
Make every effort to be found living peaceful lives...do you do that right now?
I try, but I am not great. I am a pretty positive and optimistic guy, but I have may days where I am down...But I try. I have my days where I do a lot of good things, and there are days where I don't. We aren't all going to live these perfect lives waiting for Christ to return, but we can make every effort.
I don't know about you but I don't want to get caught watching the paint dry. I don't want Christ to return and be shocked at what I am doing or even worse disappointed.
When negativity, doubt, dark thoughts, sin, and pretty much things that wouldn't please God comes over you, I strongly encourage you to make every effort to be mindful of what you are doing all of the time. Don't get caught up in the wrong crowd at the wrong time.
Because I don't know about you, but I can think of no better feeling than to be doing something pleasing to God when Christ returns. I just picture the most genuine and happy smile I could ever imagine...
Make every effort my friends.
