Jeremiah 16:16-18:23, 1 Thessalonians 4:1-5:3, Psalms 81:1-16, Proverbs 25:6-8
What God said to me – Elite athletes are diligent in their training. They have a goal they are working for whether it is the Olympics, or the Super Bowl, or the Masters, or Wimbledon, they keep their eye on the goal and don’t give up. As the time approaches, they double down and work even harder. For My children your time here on earth is your training and preparation for eternity as you walk with Me in obedience and are diligent to seek Me in all you do and say. I have saved you and now “I AM” at work in you for your sanctification – to make you holy as “I AM” holy and to transform you step by step into My image. However, unlike the athlete who knows the time of his event, you don’t know the day or time “I AM” coming. That day will be “like a thief in the night”. However, as you walk with Me and study My word you can be aware that the time is approaching. So, like the athlete whose event is nearing, feel the urgency and be even more diligent in your walk. There will be some of My children who are caught by surprise and ashamed when they see Me so stay faithful and diligent and alert and excited to see Me face to face. Time is running short – live like it!
