But if that slave says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying his coming,’ and starts to beat the male and female slaves, and to eat and drink and get drunk,
Luke 12:45
Notice the activities of this one who believes the master is not coming soon. Violence, drunkenness, and all kinds of evil activities will be perpetrated by such a person.
I have found that there are among Christians many who want to push the return of the Lord off. They feel that they know something else that must happen first. Or, they live without a sense of the PRESENCE of the Holy Spirit in His church. Both are grave errors.
Heavenly Father, Your power is beyond all that we can imagine! You have given man a mind that can see so much. We have by our arts and sciences conceived of so much, and yet we realize we know so little. Thank You for Your Divine Wisdom that guides our lives and comforts our minds. When I consider the works of Your hands, I think, ‘What could the Lord not do?’ And, this gives me such hope for the future. This present evil world must be the darkest the day will ever be. And, as such, how bright can it get? I will praise You! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
