Text: 1 Peter 1:13
Have you ever seen someone do something or say something and thing to yourself, “What were you thinking?” There are so many things going on today that cloud the minds of the saints. The enemy is working hard at keeping us distracted because he knows his time is short. We must stay in the Word and stay in prayer, because our lives depend on it! As believers, we’re to think a certain way. We have the mind of Christ. Our mind is the battleground and we need to protect it with due diligence. Our thoughts can’t be passive and think everything is going to be okay. We need to be ready! We need to understand what’s coming and take action! We have to have a steadfast readiness for the things of God. . .expecting a move of God. Be ready for the persecution, the ridicule, and the battle. But, also, be ready for the coming of the Lord. We can’t have loose thinking because that leads to loose living. We have an inheritance coming, so let’s focus on the eternal, not the temporal. Let’s be alert! Be sober! Be ready!
