November 3, 2020: SOAP #3988:  Job 25; Mark 13-14

Scripture:  Mark (NIV) 13:33 Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come. 34 It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with his assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch. 35 “Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the cock crows, or at dawn. 36 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37 What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’”

Observation:  Today there are many people who do not even know that there is an owner about to return.  They do not consider themselves as His servants.  They do not consider His preferences when they make their choices.  They do not consider that He will hold them accountable.  But He is coming.  He will hold us accountable. 

Application: “But I did not know,” will not be an acceptable excuse.  This is a time for calling on God.  Many people on earth will have no say in the election, but they will not be unaffected. 

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, use the days ahead to draw many people into your kingdom. Send a mighty revival to your church.  Start it today in me! Amen

Personal note:  In many ways I am progressing well from the surgery.  However, the heart rhythm is too slow, so tomorrow morning the doctor will install a permanent pacemaker.  This will probably require one more night in the hospital.  God is at work, and I trust Him.  Leon 😊
