Week 2 – Wisdom In Time Management (Ephesians 5:15-16)

In these last days before the return of Jesus, the apostle Paul encourages us to approach life with wisdom and mindfulness. He reminds us that every moment is a gift, and each opportunity holds significance. In a world filled with sin and distractions, it’s easy to just drift through life. But as followers of Jesus, we’re called to live intentionally. To make the most of every chance we’re given. Time is precious, and opportunities may come and go swiftly. By seeking God’s wisdom, we can navigate life’s decisions with clarity, ensuring that our actions align with His will. When we’re mindful of our time and choices, we not only honor God but also maximize our potential to impact those around us for good. Whether in our relationships, work, or personal growth, being purposeful in how we spend our days allows us to make a lasting difference. Life is too short to waste, so let’s approach each day with intentionality. And seek to bring glory to God in all that we do.

Questions For Reflection –

  1. How can we ensure that we are making the most of our time and opportunities each day, staying focused on what truly matters in light of God’s purpose for us?

Week 5 – Strength In God (1 John 4:4)

In these last days, we are warned that many false prophets will arise on the scene. And with them they’ll bring messages that tickle the ears but stray far from the truth of God’s Word. They will preach gospels that sound appealing, offering what people want to hear rather than what they need to hear. But as believers we have a responsibility to diligently compare every message we hear against the truth found in Scripture. Thankfully, we are not alone in this task. The Spirit of God Himself dwells within us, guiding us into all truth and giving us the discernment to recognize and reject the lies of Satan. For we are promised, “Greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world.” (1 John 4:4) No matter how wise the false prophets may seem we can stand firm. Firm with confidence in the power of the Holy Spirit, who empowers us to remain faithful to the one, true, Gospel. With God’s Word as our foundation and the Spirit as our guide, we can resist deception and cling to the truth that sets us free.

Questions for Reflection –

  1. How can we actively rely on the Holy Spirit’s guidance to discern truth from false teachings in our daily lives?
  1. In what practical ways can we strengthen our understanding of God’s Word to stand firm against the lies and deceptions we may encounter?

With God’s Spirit in our hearts, we can face anything the world throws our way! 🙏🏻❤️

Hebrews 10:24-25

As the day of Christ’s return grows closer, the challenges and uncertainties we face will increase. That’s why encouraging others is crucial to enhancing our freedom in Jesus. This mutual encouragement strengthens our faith, helping us to remain steadfast and hopeful. When we gather together and support each other, we remind ourselves of the truths of the Gospel and the hope we have in Christ. This collective strength liberates us from the isolation and fear that the world often imposes, fostering a community grounded in love and good deeds. By spurring each other on, we grow in our faith and help others to do the same. This creates a ripple effect of spiritual strength and resilience. Encouraging one another ensures that we don’t fall into despair or complacency, but rather we live out our freedom in Christ with boldness and purpose. In these times, our unity and support become a beautiful testimony to the world of the transformative power of Jesus, enhancing our collective freedom and joy as His followers.

Matthew 12:36

People like to say that the tongue is the strongest muscle of the body. And because the Lord knows the profound power and danger of the tongue, He gives a warning. One day we will each give an account for every careless word we speak. Our words can build up or tear down, heal or hurt. They reflect the state of our hearts and can have lasting impacts on others. In a world filled with anger, division, and hostility, it’s crucial to be mindful of our speech. Careless words can spread negativity, falsehoods, and pain, while thoughtful words can inspire, encourage, and bring peace. As followers of Jesus, we must strive to speak with wisdom, kindness, and truth. Our conversations should reflect His love and grace, building others up rather than tearing them down. By doing so, we honor God and demonstrate the transformative power of His Spirit in our lives. As we await His return, let us commit to using our tongues to glorify Him and edify those around us, knowing that every word matters in the eyes of our Savior.

2 Corinthians 11:13

Paul warns us about false apostles, deceitful workers who disguise themselves as apostles of Christ. As we approach the last days, it is crucial to be particularly discerning about the teachers, ministers, and so-called prophets we listen to. The rise of misinformation and deception is rampant, and many may be led astray by charismatic leaders who do not preach the true gospel. Our ultimate source of truth must be the Bible, the inspired Word of God. By grounding ourselves in Scripture, we can discern between true and false teachings. The Bible equips us with wisdom and understanding, helping us to recognize those who distort the gospel for their gain. It is essential to test every teaching against the Word of God, ensuring it aligns with the doctrines and principles found in Scripture. Let us remain vigilant, prayerful, and committed to studying the Bible, allowing its truths to guide and protect us.

Matthew 24:6

In Matthew we are reminded that in the last days, we will hear of wars and rumors of wars. This paints a picture of a world that often feels scary and dangerous. The current wars, threats of new wars, and the violence and hostility towards those with different beliefs, all contribute to this unsettling reality. Yet as believers, we understand that these events must occur to usher in the return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And despite the chaos around us, we find solace in the knowledge that God is always in control. Nothing happens outside of His sovereign plan, and nothing takes Him by surprise. This assurance allows us to face the turmoil with a sense of peace, knowing that God’s purposes are being fulfilled. Our faith anchors us, reminding us that even in the darkest times, God’s light shines through. We are called to trust in His timing and to remain steadfast in our hope. As we navigate these turbulent days, let us hold onto the promise of Christ’s return. And find comfort in the certainty of His ultimate victory!

Hebrews 10:23

In the midst of a world turned upside down, Hebrews 10:23 speaks to the turmoil we face. As predicted in the last days, the lines between good and evil have not only been blurred, but flipped upside down. People no longer have trust in their leaders, in their news sources, and even each other. For anger, division, and chaos rule the day. And as the presidential election grows closer, the vitriol grows louder, pushing society further into uncertainty. Yet in these turbulent times, we can cling unswervingly to the hope found in Jesus. His promises stand firm as a beacon of light in the darkness. Though everything may seem out of control, we can anchor our souls in His unchanging truth. With unwavering faith let us stand firm, knowing that His faithfulness endures forever. And as we await His return, let us not be shaken or swayed by the storms around us. Instead, let us remain steadfast. For our redemption draws near, and in Christ, we find our ultimate hope and security.

Romans 8:23

When it comes to the Lord’s return A.W. Tozer once said, “When He returns is not as important as the fact that we are ready for Him when He does return.” As sons and daughters of God, we are recipients of His divine promise. A promise of the triumphant return of our Lord Jesus Christ. Many believe that we are indeed the last generation, and are living in the last days. So let us not falter in our vigil, but rather let our spirits soar with fervent expectation, anchored in the unwavering hope of His grace. With patient endurance, steadfast and resolute, may we navigate the trials of this life, knowing that our redemption draws near. For in the darkest hour when shadows loom large and the attacks of the Enemy relentless, it is our faith that sustains us, and our hope that guides us through the trials. So with a united voice may we cry out, “Maranatha! Come Lord Jesus!” And with heads held high and hearts ablaze, may we stand firm. Because the day of our Lord’s return draws ever closer, and in His promise we find our comfort and our strength.

Exodus 34:6

Solomon was a wise man. And in Proverbs 14:29 he says, “Whoever is patient has great understanding, but one who is quick-tempered displays folly.” Boy does that ring true. Patience is a virtue I struggle with daily. And inevitably impatience leads to anger, followed by jumping to conclusions, ending with regret. That’s why I’m so very thankful God’s mercy extends far beyond my shortcomings. In spite of myself, His grace flows endlessly. When I am faithless, His love and faithfulness never waver. Because God’s abundant goodness is not limited by our limitations. It’s an ever continuing supply of hope and assurance. A reminder of His unfailing presence in our lives. And an invitation to embrace the richness of His blessings with gratitude and humility. The world is filled so much anger and division. Jesus warned that in the last days people would become lovers of themselves and money. They’ll be braggers, arrogant, and abusive. (2 Tim. 3:2) May it not be with God’s people. May we abound in love.
