Twilight’s come. At any time within the next two or three hours, I know my son will come traipsing through our front door. He’s a good son and he’s always on time. Yet, I’ve turned the porch light on so that he won’t have to walk in the dark, trip coming up the front drive, or not be able to find the keyhole on the door. Besides, when he see’s the front porch light it’s reinforcement that we’re expecting him.
Do you ever think about the fact that God’s expecting you too? Yes, He’s expecting us to be with Him in heaven one day. Jesus told us in His Word that He left this earth to go and prepare a place for us to be with him forever. But, Jesus has some expectations for us here on earth.
The word Responsibility literally means that we each have the ability to respond; either positively or negatively, to any situation or circumstance. We can make a choice to respond positively. It’s not only the right thing to do, but it also our way of honoring God. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father, Matthew 5:16 (NLT) My prayer for each of us tonight is found in Romans 15:5, May God, who gives this patience and encouragement, help you live in complete harmony with each other, as fitting for followers of Christ Jesus. (NLT). Amen.
