Follow the Signs

Weekly Word from the Wisdom Walk 

As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us,  when what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray (Matthew 24:1-4)

In these times of distress, when your devotion and obedience are put to the greatest test, you must let Scripture guide and comfort you. Never let the faithlessness of others determine what you do. Turn to the Scriptures and allow them to reorient you to God and His activity (taken from Experiencing God Everyday by Richard Blackaby).

It is of the utmost importance Christians learn to read news headlines through the lens of Scripture and stop looking for signs. The signs are already with us and all that is left, is for us to be ready for the coming of the Lord. Yes, we still go to work, educate ourselves and our children and strive to occupy our time well, while we wait. But, it should be with a consciousness of eternity looming larger on the horizon every day. 

I don't know when or exactly how time will transition to eternity but,  the Bible tells us what the signs are. Let us watch, pray, and be ready.
