Today's Devotional
Always attentive
Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them. It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the middle of the night or toward daybreak.But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”
- Luke 12:35–40
The Parable of the Watchful Servant reminds us of a vital truth in the Christian life: the need to always be alert and prepared for Christ’s return. Jesus warns us about the unpredictability of His second coming and invites us to live in constant watchfulness. The parable speaks of servants who await their master’s return and are blessed for being ready when he arrives. Their readiness is likened to lamps that remain lit, symbolizing continual vigilance.
The message of this parable is clear: we do not know the day or the hour, so we must remain spiritually alert at all times. It is easy to become distracted by the concerns of daily life and neglect our walk with God. Yet Christ calls us to live purposefully, committed to His will, always awaiting His coming.
To be “always attentive” does not mean living in anxiety, but in faith. It means keeping a heart aligned with God, acting with integrity and vigilance. As watchful servants, we must be ready to respond to Christ’s call at any moment, trusting in His promise and living according to His will.
May we, each day, renew our commitment to live prepared, keeping our “lamps burning,” faithfully awaiting the return of our Lord.
Be always attentive
- Keep your prayer life active and constant, always seeking the presence of God.
- Live each day with purpose, serving God in small and great opportunities.
- Develop an attitude of spiritual readiness, standing firm in faith and works.
Prayer:
Lord, help me to be always watchful, with a heart prepared to receive You. Give me strength to live with purpose, faithful in Your service, keeping my faith burning amid distractions. May I be attentive to Your call, living each day in readiness and hope. Amen.

God makes us happy
In our lives, God is like a light that makes us happy. When things become difficult, He is always there, giving us comfort and love. When we read what He says in the Bible, we feel peace. God is like a light that drives away the darkness of the things we do not understand, and He shows us paths of hope.
The grace of God is like a strength that helps us when we feel weak. We know that we are not alone because He is always with us.
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope
- Jeremiah 29:11
When things go well, it is as if God is smiling at us, blessing us every day. Every time we walk according to His Word, we see God showing His love for us. Even when things are going badly, we know that God is in control. He is the reason we can remain joyful no matter what happens, because His love is forever.
God gives us a purpose that goes beyond the things here on Earth. Our joy does not depend on what happens now, but on the certainty that we will be with Him forever. We thank God for being the reason for our joy. We ask Him to continue lighting our path, giving us hope and joy with each new day.
