I’ve been a little obsessed with what’s going on lately in the world we live in: the governmental changes, rumors of wars, earthquakes, and environmental anomalies. They all seem to point to the season of the end and the return of Jesus. Jesus said we wouldn’t know the exact day of his return, but we would know the season. We can’t just sit around waiting for the inevitable; we must stay ready. We can see from the parables of Matthew 24 and 25 that the fig tree is budding, and time is at hand. Because you know he is coming soon, you must continue to maintain his house; don’t let him find you being lazy or mistreating God’s other servants because he’s been gone too long. Keep oil in your lamp because he is near; the Holy Spirit is your oil. Jesus has given each of us a portion of faith; some of us have more than others, but no matter how much you have, he expects you to invest it and bring more into the kingdom while you wait for him to return. Stay strong and hold on; He’s coming soon, and we will all be grateful!

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: Matthew 25:34
