My God, Thank You For Urging Me To Be Watchful

September 25 Scripture Meditations Based on Mark 13-14

Key Verses– Mark 13:33-35 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. Watch ye therefore…

MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR URGING ME TO BE WATCHFUL

Thank You for urging to be watchful with prayerful fervency
Along Your mercy’s consistency
Despite my complacency…
Here am I repenting, pursuing supplication’s persistency.

Thank You for urging to be watchful with obedient willingness
Along Your graciousness’ bountifulness
Despite my rebelliousness…
Here am I submitting myself to You, combatting pride’s destructiveness.

Thank You for urging to be watchful with purposive direction
Along Your guidance-protection
Despite my perversion…
Here am I humbling down, following Your set instruction.

Thank You for urging to be watchful with participative involvement
Along Your Word’s commandment
Despite my discouragement…
Here am I striving, doing best for commitment’s fulfillment.

Thank You for urging to be watchful with service-diligence
Along Your presence-prominence
Despite my indolence…
Here am I moving on, overcoming slothfulness’ preference.

Thank You for urging to be watchful with communion-fellowship
Along Your loving relationship
Despite my hardship…
Here am I abiding, continuing upon stewardship’s worship.

Thank You for urging to be watchful with careful sobriety
Along Your wise sovereignty
Despite my instability…
Here am I growing in faith, rejoicing by Your grace for victory’s certainty.
