Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. - Matt 24:45-46 (ESV)
Many of us have our 5 year, 10 year, and 25 year plans. We envision what will happen on down the road: children, job, home. Or maybe we take the other extreme; we simply look forward to the end of the day. In either case, we often do not factor in the Lord's return. Our lives tend to not be oriented towards a sudden end to employment, family, retirement, etc. Putting the Lord back into our lives tends to put life in perspective. Maybe I should make that visit or write that letter. Living life in light of Christ's return adds a simplicity and purity to our daily living. And that is refreshment we could all use.
