“You must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will
come when least expected.”
Luke 12:40
• The three men in my family—husband and two sons—some- times joke about my “ability” to put something on the stove . . . and then forget about it. You see, I’m a multi-tasker. So I can quickly move from one thing to the next without skipping a beat. But if that “next thing” happens to absorb my interest, the previous thing might get left behind. (Hence, a few memorable burned leftovers.) There’s a kind of spiritual watchfulness that I’d like to take up to a greater extent. For us multi-taskers, the challenge is to focus on what’s truly important. That is why Jesus warned His disciples so solemnly about looking for His return at the end of days. They were to live with watchful expectancy. They couldn’t just coast along through their lives with comfortable routines. Deep inside, the eyes of their hearts needed to be wide open. When daily distractions arrive, ask God to help you see things as He does.
