A Scripture and a Prayer: “Be Ready”
“Look, I come like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake and remains clothed, so as not to go naked and be shamefully exposed.” (Revelation 16:15)
Prayer:
Lord, may I pray that we are always be ready. May we be like one of those ten virgins who waited with expectancy with their lamps trimmed and filled with oil, waiting for Your return, knowing that it can be at any time. Let us not be caught asleep filled with apathy over the present condition of this world, and with the seeming hopelessness that the world is trying to sell. They are like snake oil salesmen selling a fake and false spirit, which is nothing less than the spirit of Satan, and the spirit of antichrist. Jesus, you said you are coming soon, and so may we add our voices saying, “Amen, Come, Lord Jesus.”
