    Week 30: Friday, Always Ready

    “You need to hurry up and finish getting ready; we’re running late.” Have you heard those words before? Some people seem to habitually get ready at the very last second or run behind regularly. Somehow, these folks need to learn how to make preparations earlier and to stay focused. The same is true when it comes to being ready for Jesus’ return. Jesus said in Luke 12:40, “You also must be

    Week 30: Thursday, If We Only Knew

    When was the last time you, having a specific experience, said, “If I had only known that is how it would have turned out, I would have done it differently.”? A while ago, I began working on a small construction project, confident I would be able to complete it. When it became obvious to me that I was in over my head, I recruited the help of someone with experience to finish the job. The work I had done actually made his work more difficult. When I promised that I would never do that to him again, with a smile, he said, “If you do, next time call me before you start.” We both chuckled because it was funny, but we both knew he meant it.

    Week 30: Wednesday, Blessed

    What word comes to your mind when you hear the word, Christian? Would it be the words “saved,” “joyful,” “redeemed,” or “Christ?” There are many possibilities. Surely one word that should be in that list is the word “blessed.” In the parable of the watchman in Luke 12, Jesus said, “If he comes in the second watch, or in the third, and finds them awake, blessed are those servants” (Luke 12:38, ESV). If those who are in Christ are spiritually awake and watching when the Lord returns, they will be the most blessed of people!

    Week 30: Tuesday, It's Time To Wake Up

    I have a good friend who is one of those bright-eyed and bushy-tailed early morning folks. One day, when I accused him of sleeping in, he said, “Baggett, I get up every morning and slap the rooster to wake him up.” Are you one of those folks, or do you like to cover back up when the alarm goes off and continue sleeping? Often, children want to go back to sleep in the mornings, and parents find it difficult to wake them up. If, as adults, we “hit the snooze” one time too many, it can really be problematic.

    Week 30: Monday, Dressed and Ready

    It has been said that “clothes make the man,” meaning that the way we dress puts us in the proper mindset for the task ahead and can affect the impressions others have of us. It also implies the need to make the very best decision regarding our dress. For example: a football player wears cleats, pads, a uniform, and a helmet; a fireman wears boots, gloves, and protective gear for his body and head; and an astronaut wears clothing and gear specifically designed to withstand the pressures of being in outer space.

    Week 29: Friday, The god of Self

    Addressing the problem of greed, Jesus told a parable about a selfish, rich farmer who had produced an abundant harvest but had insufficient storage space. “And he said, ‘I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, ‘Soul, you have ample goods laid up f

    Week 29: Thursday, When God Calls You A Fool

    We should be cautious about mocking anyone. Mockery is usually hurtful. Belittling another person is just not a very nice thing to do! (See Jesus’ warning about this in Matthew 5:22.)

    Week 29: Wednesday, Relax, Eat, Drink, Be Merry!

    The pleasure principle seems to permeate modern life. “Enjoy yourself.” “Have fun.” “Have a great day!” These are things that are said when we share plans with friends or family. Except for Sesame Street’s Oscar the Grouch, who would ever desire that we have a rotten day?
