How should we live in uncertain times, waiting for Christ's return?

In today’s devotional, Kris Baines challenges us to consider how we are spending our time as we await Christ's return. It can be tempting to question the value of investing in long-term projects when the world seems to be in turmoil. However, we are reminded of Christ’s words, "occupy till I come." This instruction from our Savior encourages us to be diligent and purposeful in our work for God's kingdom, regardless of the circumstances around us.

Baines reflects on Ephesians chapter five, where Paul urges believers to walk wisely, making the best use of the time because the days are evil. This passage calls us to understand the Lord's will and to be actively engaged in His work. We are here for a purpose, and there is work to be done. Our role is to proclaim the gospel, make disciples, and continue in our local church, regardless of the challenges we face.

Philippians 1:6 (NKJV): "Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ."
