We don’t know when, but we do know that Jesus is going to return to receive His own home (John 14:3).  What we do while we wait is an active waiting, not passive.  As John Waller wrote in his song, “I will worship while I’m waiting.”  Worship is active service dedicated to God for His glory.  We must wait in such a way that God can use us to draw others to His Son to join us when He comes to get us!  Wait actively!  Wait worshipfully!

 

Titus 2:11-15

11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, 12 instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age, 13 looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, 14 who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds. 15 These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one disregard you.

“The Master expects us, as his servants to do more than passively preserve what has been entrusted to us. He expects us to generate a return by using our talents toward productive ends.” ~ Hugh Welchel

 

The Lord bless you and keep you….
