Dear God, In the press of everyday stuff, I often fail to remember that one day will be THE Day—when Jesus returns to earth in final judgment. It could be Today.
Lord, when the Rapture comes, I want to be ready. No unfinished business. No Word fitly spoken left unsaid. No person left for me to tell of Your abounding grace.
Help me today to live as though this IS the day. Strip away the distractions that make me feel like I have years to prepare. Let me see the urgency in every moment.
Make me useful and usable in Your service today. Let my hands do what You ask. Let my mouth speak what You want. Let my heart beat in rhythm with Yours.
I ask this for the sake of Jesus, who is coming soon. Amen.
