"You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect." - Luke 12:40

Time marches on like the great armies of history. The excitement of youth passes on to the steadiness of middle-age and eventually gives way to the apathy of latter years. "Been there and done that" becomes the adage and sigh of old age. Expectation is lost in the process of deterioration.

Our Lord has given the believer a very good reason to live every moment in expectation. He is coming again, and we have no idea when that will moment will occur. There is no time in this life to just kick back and let spiritual excitement slip into careless apathy. "Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes".

Has the passage of time taken the edge off my friend? Well, turn your eyes on Jesus and look for his dramatic and earth shattering arrival. Live every day as if it was "that day" and give it all your heart. Some say that youthfulness is only a state of mind. Jesus tells us that youthfulness is a state of expectation... Perhaps Today!
