Today’s Bible Reading: Proverbs 19; Proverbs 20; Proverbs 21; Romans 13 (The Message)
Romans 13:11–14 But make sure that you don’t get so absorbed and exhausted in taking care of all your day-by-day obligations that you lose track of the time and doze off, oblivious to God. The night is about over, dawn is about to break. Be up and awake to what God is doing!
This is a repeat theme in scripture—getting overly concerned about this life and the accumulation of stuff. Building our house upon the sand. Letting the weeds (cares) of this world choke out our effectiveness.
Paul reminds me again in this passage that this life isn’t all there is. He warns me not to focus entirely on this life, but to keep an ear open to what God is doing, and how he wants me to participate in his grand plan for eternity. God’s work has eternal value and will last forever!
Listen to what God is saying. Be in tune with the Spirit today. Be willing to hold things loosely so I don’t get encumbered with the cares of this world and miss out on the most important things of all.
Father God, how can I join you today in your eternal purposes?
