Today’s Scripture
Mark 13: 33-37 (WEB)
Watch, keep alert, and pray; for you don’t know when the time is.
“It is like a man travelling to another country, having left his house and given authority to his servants, and to each one his work, and also commanded the doorkeeper to keep watch. Watch therefore, for you don’t know when the lord of the house is coming – whether at evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning; lest, coming suddenly, he might find you sleeping. What I tell you, I tell all: Watch!”
Reflection
Close your eyes and allow yourself to feel the weight of a world in chaos, just as the disciples did when Jesus spoke of shaking foundations. He does not tell you to hide or cower, but to stand erect and raise your head. What is the deep desire of your heart that makes you long for His redemption right now?
Grace to Ask For: The grace of holy desire and an awake heart.
Examen: Where today did I notice myself falling into spiritual slumber or distraction?.
