Watch, to be ready

We are told quite clearly that the Lord will come like a thief in the night. So whilst there are many events in our world that draw our attention, we need to be careful that if we become overly focused on these things, looking for meaning or signs, we can become so distracted that we don’t see the ‘thief’ entering into our house. So, we are encouraged to watch (be vigilant, on alert) so that we are walking carefully, being guided by God’s Word.
