Passage

Matthew 24:32-51  (ESV)

Daily Bread

Key Verse: 24:45

First, my words will never pass away (32-35). Just as people carefully pay attention to the seasons, we should be alert to the spiritual times around us. We should not be consumed by this world which will certainly pass away, but we must pay attention to God's words which will come true at their proper time.

Second, who, then is the faithful and wise servant? (36-51) No one but God knows when Jesus will come again. Those who claim to know are liars. In the days of Noah, no one expected the flood. Everyone was busy doing his own thing. They were not ready to meet God when the flood came suddenly. How can we be ready? By following the example of the faithful and wise servant. He was entrusted with his master's household. He gives food at the proper time. He works hard; he doesn't procrastinate. One who lives before men's eyes will not be ready; one who lives before God will be ready whenever Jesus comes.

Prayer: Prayer: Lord, help me to await your coming with an eager and ready heart.

One Word: Be a faithful and wise servant
