Time Is Running Out

Romans 13:11-14

New Living Translation (NLT)

 ¹¹ This is all the more urgent, for you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. ¹² The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living. ¹³ Because we belong to the day, we must live decent lives for all to see. Don’t participate in the darkness of wild parties and drunkenness, or in sexual promiscuity and immoral living, or in quarreling and jealousy. ¹⁴ Instead, clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And don’t let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires.

Thought for the Day
Advent is a time for us to prepare for the arrival of Jesus the Messiah, and Jesus the Savior of the World; Jesus the tiny Baby of Bethlehem, and Jesus the Lord of Lords and King of Kings. Jesus tells us that we can never know the time of his arrival and therefore we should always be prepared. As you go through this day think, "How would I prepare differently if I knew he would return this Christmas." That is how we should live each and every day of our lives. "The night is almost gone. The day of salvation is near.


Today's ADVENTure
When you see a clock today, remember that time to prepare is running out.
