Let us not sleep.

"Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober" (1 Thessalonians 5:6 KJV). We have to stay alert, watchful, and awake in these last days. So many things can take our eyes and hearts away from our Savior.  If we allow our natural man in the flesh to get it's way, we could get trapped so easily. We know that the end times are here and our Savior is coming back for His bride. It's obvious. The signs are right in front of us, but we have to understand that the enemy wants to disturb us and to distract us away from the truth. The enemy will use people to do that. In today's world, we don't know what could happen tomorrow or even today. So much has changed among our society, governments, beliefs, and people in general. There's so much hurt and pain out there among us. There's so much pointing fingers and blaming one another. The Lord Jesus Christ makes it clear when He says, "the world will hate you" (John 15:19). The world is confused. Man is confused. Christ let's us know that the world hated Him first. So, the world is going to hate us, the ones He has chosen. Many Christians will be hurt and pained by loved ones, by those whom they trusted, but God tells us to be watchful and sober minded. It is not the time to get relaxed, for the Lord speaks to us in this chapter on the coming destruction. He speaks about how we must put on faith, love, and the hope of salvation. We must take comfort together and edify one another in the Lord. God bless you all. Thank you all for taking time to read this daily.
