God’s Love envelopes you the moment you ask.

Matthew 24:42

“Therefore, stay awake! For you do not know on which day your Lord will come.”

+++

These are powerful words of wisdom from the master teacher, Jesus.

Some have turned this into an ominous warning about not knowing when our death will come. But that doesn’t jive with one of Jesus’ main messages: Do not be afraid.

And he also said that he would not reject anyone who came to him: “And this is the will of the one who sent me, that I should not lose anything of what he gave me, but that I should raise it [on] the last day” (John 6:39).

So today’s verse is not a threat…but more like a basic message on how to live your life.

Isn’t it true that many times we end up sleep-walking through life…filling each day with meaningless pursuits?

How often are our minds on overdrive…constantly chattering about this or that?

Stop!

Wake up!

Each moment is a gift full of God’s presence…but many times absent of ours.

God is ready to be known to us in many ways and through many experiences but we are essentially asleep.

We are unconscious of God’s presence because we are too immersed in the noise of the world and our own minds. 

Set aside a few minutes of quiet. Allow the inner chaos to cease.

Silence your rapid-firing thoughts.

Simply observe them and let them go.

Who is observing those thoughts? You, of course…the real you.

Be still and awaken to the Presence of God.
