“But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” (Luke 21:34-36)
Ahhh......summertime! Will Smith (Fresh Prince and DJ Jazzy Jeff) sang it best in his song from 1991 (https://youtu.be/Kr0tTbTbmVA). But hold on . . .Do not get lost in the season!
While it is cool to kick back and relax a bit now that school is ending and vacations are once again possible, we cannot forget our God! Especially this summer, after all we have been through the past fifteen months or so, we must keep our focus upon God!
Keep watching to see where He is working and join Him . . . yes even in summer! We cannot simply relax and live carefree as if nothing is happening. God is always at work, even during vacations. During these times we can express our thanks for all He has done. We can take the time to observe His works all around us. We may even take time to serve others in a way we simply cannot during the busy seasons.
So as we prepare to slow down a bit, remember to keep watching . . . God is at work! Do not get lost in the season!
