Be ready

"And behold, I am coming quickly, and my reward is with Me, to give to everyone according to his work." -Revelation 22:12
​
Be ready. Keep oil for your lamps. Watch and pray. As sure as God's word has ever been, these words are certain. Christ has promised to come again and we wait in deliberate expectation, exercising, building up our faith until that glorious day. He is bringing His reward with Him for those servants who have been found faithfully working. What is the work? It starts with belief, the only work that matters; grows through building up the Body by our service to Christ, dispensing that which we have received; and culminates in a perfected faith when we see Christ face to face and enter into the joy of His kingdom. Help us be ready, Oh Lord! Help us be ready.
