Topic: You can do it!
Today’s Scripture: 1 Peter 1:10-14; KJV
10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:

The American inventor Henry Ford once said ‘Whether you think you can or you can’t, you’re probably right’. This sentiment is reflected in a quote from Yoda in the movie Star Wars; “Do or do not. There is no try.” But what can we learn from Jesus Christ about this attitude?
We are asked to use our own will, our mind to set hopes on grace being brought to us when Jesus returns. At first glance, it may seem like a threat ‘you better pray he’s nice to you’. But that’s a superficial understanding. What we’re being asked to do is to focus our minds and intentions towards receiving the Lord’s grace when he returns. Only when we set our alert and sober thoughts towards earning Jesus’ blessings can we prepare ourselves to live a life of good action that enables us to open up and receive them. When we think we can, we are right. We don’t try, we just do.
How quickly do we expect things these days? With so much information quickly at our fingertips, it is easy to forget that eternity awaits us.
Prayer
We must not waste our time on Earth. Study, stay sharp and stay focused on what is important: living a life in the name of Jesus.
