Luke 21:36 Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.

When you are faced with things which you feel will be able to overcome you, you need someone who is going to stand by you and encourage you by supporting you no matter what!

We have that in Christ! He is willing and able to stand by our side and get us through the difficult times we face – we may not be able to escape the final result, but God can guide us to the best outcome!

What we should be doing is standing by Christ’s side so we have the best protection at all times and not wandering off and having to call out for help!

Matthew 25:11 Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!’

Don’t you just hate it when your appliance breaks down just after the warranty period expires? Unfortunate as it is and as much as we dislike it, we did purchase our appliance knowing the warranty expiry!

Unfortunately, we do not know the date which the Lord will come back – so instead of doing what we like and smartening up the day or hour before, we have to be ready, constantly.

God wants us to be prepared so He will not have to say “I didn’t know you...”

James 3:17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.

If you are looking for guidance, then seeking it from the world is going to land you with “worldly wisdom”. We can all see where the world has got itself nowadays – pretty good mess if you ask me!

God is the author of wisdom. He is our creator God and continues to uphold His ways even though the world continues to seemingly destroy itself.

To be confident you are receiving the right advice, always follow God and His Word. Encompass the good fruits from Heaven above.
