“You are not lacking in any gift as you eagerly await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will also confirm you to the end, blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
—1 Corinthians 1:7–8, NASB
Reflection
The early believers did not live as though Yeshua might return someday in the distant future. They waited with expectation, desiring the coming day of God and preparing their lives for the Messiah’s return. That same sense of expectancy is rising again in the global church as we see Israel restored to its land and the Jewish people continuing to return home. God is gathering, fulfilling, and awakening His people to live ready.
Application
- Ask the Lord to restore holy expectancy for the return of Jesus.
- Live today in preparation, faithfulness, and hope, not distraction or fear.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, awaken our hearts to Your promised return. Strengthen us to the end, make us blameless before You, and teach us to live with the expectation of those who are waiting for their King. Amen.
