Scripture

You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.

Observation

Paul does not need to talk about the dates and times for the Lord’s return because they know that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

We should not be surprised. We are children of the light not of the night. Therefore we need to life as children of the light.

God did not appoint us to wrath but to salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. He died for us so that we can live with Him.

Application

We don’t know when Jesus will return and we should not obsess about looking for signs and working out timetables.

We need to be ready to meet with Jesus at any time. That means ensuring that our hearts are right with him and that we are living as children of the light.

A life of obedience and surrender to Him are the kind of readiness He is looking for.

Prayer

Father is today the Day, or tomorrow? Only you know. Help me to live every day as if it is the day for Jesus’ return. Amen.
