dear God,
help me listen to Your small still voice. Maybe its making the extra effort to wake up early. Maybe its seeking You in the wee hours of the night. Maybe its pushing aside appointments and computer to wait upon You. Help me listen and discern. Help me be humble and follow Your calling.
In Christ's most precious name,
Amen
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. [Gal 2:20]

1 Thessalonians 5
1Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, 2for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
4But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. 5You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. 6So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert and self-controlled. 7For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. 8But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. 9For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. 10He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. 11Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
it's so easy to slack off and be sloppy in the things that we do. take our own sweet time. leave important things to tomorrow and then tomorrow again and again. what if Christ returned tomorrow? will you be ready to account for what you have done in your life?
