Listen to this blog.
Don’t spend all of your time thinking about eating or drinking or worrying about life. If you do, the final day will suddenly catch you like a trap. That day will surprise everyone on earth.
Watch out and keep praying that you can escape all that is going to happen and that the Son of Man will be pleased with you.
Luke 21:34-36
What is the difference between being lazy and having faith. The lazy man doesn't prepare for the future. He just sits by hoping everything will work out fine in the end. The 1988 song "Don't Worry Be Happy" might be the theme song of irresponsibility.
But having faith and trusting God is the epitome of responsibility. Depending on the only one who can tackle any problem and provide completely for every need is not irresponsible at all.
It may sound strange but spending your time thinking about how to provide for your needs and worrying about life itself is fundamentally an act of irresponsibility. It would be like a man trying to empty a lake by dipping out the water with a tea cup. Try as you may it will not be done.
Like a mouse lured by the cheese you will be suddenly trapped when that day comes.
To keep from being trapped by that Last Day we should watch out and keep praying. Frankly, keeping up with the news and current events today is a wonderful way to see the Hand of God working in the world. The stage is being set for the final curtain to open on the last act of Earth's Human Drama! Every day tell someone that Jesus is coming and coming soon! I pray that when Jesus comes it will be shortly after I have admonished someone to watch for His return.
Oh yes, I may go before He comes, but that would even be better!
