Luke 21:29-22:13
Be careful! This is something I tell my kids when they approach a hot stove or a busy street. This is also something we see on yellow tape draped around construction sites or other potentially dangerous locations. In these places, people need to be careful. Similarly, Jesus tells us that when we approach life, we need to be careful. It is as if he drapes yellow caution tape across all the decisions we make.
Jesus warns us that if we are not careful, we will fall into disaster. We may soon find ourselves caught up in the ways of the world; namely, sex, alcohol, and anxiety. We can find ourselves in danger without even knowing it. Instead, we are to be attentive to things which truly matter and live in light of eternity. If we are not careful, we can easily be consumed by the momentary, fleeting pleasures of this world, rather than being consumed by things of God. So, we are to keep Christ at the center of our lives and live with eyes awaiting his return. We must live with caution and experience freedom, or we will live in a way that only brings bondage. Therefore, let us be careful and make sure we are living in a way that is ready for Christ's return.
Father God, help me to live for what truly matters. Help me to live carefully, making sure that I live for the truly significant, meaningful, and eternal. Amen.
How can you be more careful to live for what truly matters in light of eternity?
