Go to follow.lifeword.org!   ~~~ Scripture: Matthew 13:41-42 (in relation to 2 Samuel 23:7) Reflection: Jesus warned of the final separation of the righteous and the wicked. David’s words in 2 Samuel 23:7 remind us of a coming kingdom where judgment is certain. We must live in readiness, knowing that the righteous King will soon return. The kingdom of God is closer than we often realize. Every day is an opportunity to align our lives with His will. Jesus’ return is not a distant event, but an imminent reality. Living with this awareness transforms our priorities, pushing us to seek righteousness and share the gospel with urgency. The Bible frequently calls believers to be vigilant, like watchmen waiting for the morning. Just as a farmer prepares for harvest, we must prepare our hearts for Christ’s return. The certainty of His coming should not create fear but anticipation and motivation for holy living. It is easy to become distracted by the world’s concerns, but the nearness of Christ’s return calls us to be faithful stewards of our time, resources, and relationships. Let us not grow complacent but remain diligent in living as citizens of His kingdom, proclaiming His message to those who do not yet know Him. 3 Prayer Points: Ask for readiness for Christ’s return. Pray for those who are far from God. Seek a heart that desires purity and holiness. 2 Peoples to pray for Siripong & Jessie Yaebeang and their family, our missionaries in Thailand The French-European Lifeword broadcast for the people of Europe 1 Summary: The King is coming soon; we must be prepared for His righteous reign.
