Prepare your minds for action, be self-controlled

1 Peter 1:13: Prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed.

The incarnation of Jesus is to reveal God. (John 1:18) As wonderful, powerful, and gracious Jesus did in his earthly ministry, he did not fully reveal all who he is. When he comes at this time, he will not come to reveal God, but to reveal who is he, the conquering God, the Rider on the white horse. Every knee shall bow. Every tong should confess. We will get to see Jesus as he really and fully is, the savior, the Immanuel in power and grace, triumphant in all way. When we set our hope on Infant Jesus' grace when he returns, we can be with confident, ready for live service to our Prince Jesus today. We can live under his leadership with obedience and praise today.

O Almighty God, I long for the day when I get to see Jesus face to face coming with the angels in power. Everyday we have choices we have to make. The best choice anyone could make is to choose to serve YOU, JESUS and make HIM our personal Savior. In YOUR WORD, it is said to seek first the kingdom of Heaven and its righteousness and every other thing will be added unto us. LORD, I pray that each household will choose to serve YOU, JESUS and it will become easier to make the right choice every day. Amen.

Let us pray for all those who died today especially Religious Brothers and Sisters who lived for Christ.
