June 27

Running with Jesus  

Luke 21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

      "That day come upon you unaware!"   Jesus warns us about getting so caught up in life that we forget the Lord is coming back!  Oh you say," We have heard that all my life!" They had heard Jesus was coming again and many were not paying attention. He came and fulfilled prophesy. So we must ask ourselves are we caught up in drunkenness and cares that we give little attention to Christ return.  Our cares can overwhelm us and our focus gets shifted. 

       He is coming again, will he find us waiting and watching. Will we be ashamed of where we are when He returns?! This is a lot to think about. Let's all have a think!  If Jesus came back today, what would He find us doing? 

Father, help us to say like Jesus at age 12 "You should have known I would be about my Father's business."Reveal Your business to us and help us stay focused on Your business and not on worldliness. Your business is eternal and the worlds business is only temporary. (Help us not forget it either!)

Tomorrow: Is Passover in Jerusalem, come and let’s run along beside Jesus!
