Here is part of our New Testament reading for today, from 1 Thessalonians: ‘But as to the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need to have anything written to you. For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. When people say, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as travail comes upon a woman with child, and there will be no escape. But you are not in darkness, brethren, for that day to surprise you like a thief.  For you are all sons of light and sons of the day; we are not of the night or of darkness’.

There is a question we all need to ask ourselves: will I be ready when the Lord comes, as a thief in the night? It might be helpful to spend time reflecting on this today.

May God be with you and guide all your thinking and reflecting, and bless you with His love.
