TOPIC: Look and Ask
For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. – 1 Thessalonians 5:2
Recommended Reading: 2 Peter 3:11-12
A boss assigns a young worker a task in the warehouse. Later the boss stops by unexpectedly to find his employee scrolling through his phone. The worker hops up and points to his completed task. But the boss says, “You could have looked for other things to do or at least asked for your next assignment. Don’t be satisfied with doing the bare minimum; there are always things to be done.”
The Bible says that Jesus’ return for His Church—the beginning of the Day of the Lord—will come like “a thief in the night.” That is, it will come unexpectedly, which raises the apostle Peter’s question: “What manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness” in light of Christ’s unexpected return (2 Peter 3:11-12)? As we wait for the return of Christ and the end of the age, are we content to do “the bare minimum” as believers? Or are we looking and asking for ways in which to serve Him as faithful disciples until He returns (Luke 12:35-38)?
Look and ask today for ways to serve Jesus as you watch for His appearing.
The highest honor in the church is not government but service.
John Calvin
Read-Thru-the-Bible: Nehemiah 11 – 13
