Hurry Up and Wait - Day 1 of 5

Devotional:
As believers, we live in anticipation of Christ’s return. This anticipation is not passive but active, urging us to live in a way that reflects His imminent coming. It compels us to strive for holiness and to align our lives with God’s will. By keeping our focus on eternal things, we prepare our hearts and lives for the glorious day when we will be with Him. Let us live each day with an awareness of His promises, allowing them to shape our actions and attitudes.

Bible Verse:
“You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected.” —Matthew 24:44

Reflection Question:
How can I live each day with a sense of readiness for Christ’s return?

Sermon Quote:
“The end of the world may not happen tomorrow, but the way I live because of it should change today.”

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, keep my heart focused on Your return. Help me to live each day in anticipation of Your promises, shaping my life to reflect Your love and truth. May my actions and thoughts be pleasing to You as I prepare for Your coming. Amen.
