Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
Matthew 24:46
On some days while my wife was working I would spend my day off playing with the kids. We would set up the slide in the living room and run up up and down. We would get the cardboard boxes and make a tunnel fort. We would get the puppets out and do little skits. Sometimes we would get so caught up in playing that I would forget how messy the house would be and how the time was approaching "Momma coming home". I would tell the kids that it was frantic time to clean up and that we have 30 minutes before Momma got home. It's amazing what you can achieve in such short amount of time.
The thing is that I knew when my wife was coming home, so we could goof off until about the right amount of time when she would get home. Sometimes if I needed more time I would send her on a ice cream run which would be a bonus since I got more time and she would get us ice cream.
Jesus says that he is coming again and a person is blessed when Jesus comes again and finds us doing those things that are a blessing to Him. The thing is though, is that we don't know when He is coming back again and we get into a mode that we'll do those things later. Unfortunately we may never get around to doing what would've been a blessing to God. God wants us to be doing as if He was coming at any moment, because if we don't do those things that are pleasing to God then we may never get around doing them.
What will you be doing when the Lord unexpectantly comes?
