What does it mean to "occupy until I come" in our daily lives?

In his devotional, Paul Carrington explains that when the Lord instructs us to occupy until His return, it means to persist in doing His will consistently. This command is not limited by time, whether it be 50 years or 5,000 years, but rather a call to focus on advancing His kingdom. It involves being engaged in the Master's work and living out the Great Commission. This includes ordering our families according to His Word and taking dominion for the Lord in every area of life, as seen throughout church history where conversions led to transformed families and societies.

Occupying until He comes means continuously taking ground and adhering to God's commandments regardless of circumstances. Whether in times of revival or resistance, our task is to persistently follow His instructions. It's a call to faithfully teach our children and even govern our nation in alignment with His Word. The hope lies in the assurance that we are not alone; God is with us, providing strength and guidance as we fulfill His mission. This enduring commitment to His work is grounded in the promise of His presence and empowerment.

Matthew 28:20 (NKJV): "...and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
