BIBLE MEDITATION:
"Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance." 1 Peter 1:13-14

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
"Gird up your loins" is a figure of speech mentioned a few times in God's Word. Here's a phrase we use today to say the same thing: "roll up your sleeves". It means to get serious about what you're doing.
We need to get serious about being Christians and living for God. One aspect of that is making wise
spiritual decisions. The more we stive to be obedient to Him, the more we can extend ourselves in sharing Jesus with others. We need to be single-minded, living with a passionate, burning focus upon His will ans His soon return for His church.

ACTION POINT:
What are you doing today in anticipation of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ? Are you living with the understanding that Christ could return at any moment?
