Listen from:
Several servants of the Lord sat down one morning to decide together on their activities for the day. After coming up with a plan for the day, one brother said, “If we knew for sure the Lord would come today, would our plans be the same?” Would mine change today? Would yours?
Our daily lives manifest if we are watching for the Lord each day or just waiting for Him to come sometime. One father came home for lunch each day. It was his joy to see his daughter in the window watching for his return. One day her face was not at the window. When he entered the house, he found her on the living room floor near the front window playing with her toys. She was waiting but no longer watching. We believe our Lord’s coming is near. May He have the joy when He comes of finding us occupied for Him and “at the window watching.” Perhaps today!
